Employers want science graduates – they recognise the attributes a quality science education provides.
As a UWA science student you will benefit from our state-of-the-art facilities, world-renowned staff and hands-on curriculum. National surveys confirm that UWA graduates obtain jobs more readily and start on higher salaries than graduates from all other WA universities, so whichever of the more than 20 pathways to a degree you take at UWA, you will be ahead of the pack.
UWA is the first preference for the top achievers among WA school leavers, is at the top of the WA academic ladder, is the oldest university with the best site, the most delightful campus and a very strong and growing research track record.
Undergraduate courses
As an undergraduate (this includes high school leavers and those studying at university for the first time) you will be able to choose from a range of discipline areas in the three-year Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree. You can also choose to continue study in science through honours and/or postgraduate studies offered at UWA.
Students enrolled in one of the other UWA Bachelor's degrees can still study science as a second major or through broadening, complementary or elective units.
Postgraduate Courses
Coursework
Postgraduate degrees by coursework will allow you to gain specialised qualifications and skills and include Graduate Certificates, Graduate Diplomas and Masters programs.
Thesis and Coursework
A Masters by Thesis and Coursework provides students with the opportunity to further develop their knowledge through a combination of coursework and the opportunity to undertake independent research in their chosen area of study.
