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.
Employers want science graduates – they recognise the attributes a quality science education provides.
Undergraduate courses
As an undergraduate (high school leavers and those studying at university for the first time) you will be able to choose from a range of discipline areas (majors) in the three-year Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree.
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.
The Peer Assisted Learning Program
The Peer Assisted Learning Program (PAL) gives first-year students enrolled in core units the opportunity to work collaboratively in small groups with guidance from trained student leaders who have recently completed the unit successfully.
Postgraduate Courses

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.
Research
Research degrees include a Master of Science or PhD and involve a major research investigation or a series of related research projects, the results of which make a significant contribution to the knowledge and understanding in a field of study.
