Our courses
Our dedicated team will work with you to develop the best study pathway to set you up for long-term success.
Your first degree
Our bachelor’s degrees offer flexibility so you can build your skills across one or more subject areas – expanding your career options and making you more employable. Select from a shared pool of more than 70 majors and minors, as well as optional units, to build your degree. You can choose majors and minors that are similar, like Accounting and Finance, or different, like Accounting and Data Science.
Bachelor's degrees
Rather than taking a 4.5-year or longer double degree, our unique degree structure allows you to select diverse areas of study within a 3-year degree. You can also try out different subjects in your first year and then make a decision about which major(s) and minor(s) to take in your second year. This means that if you change your mind, you won’t lose any time or money by changing degrees.
- Bachelor of Arts
- Bachelor of Biomedical Science
- Bachelor of Business
- Bachelor of Commerce
- Bachelor of Science
- Bachelor of Environmental Design
We also offer the following degrees with more defined study plans:
- Bachelor of Music
- Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics
- Bachelor of Automation and Robotics
If you would like to advance your knowledge and showcase a higher capacity for independent learning and research through extended coursework and a major project, we offer the following 4-year honours degrees.
One-year honours programs are also available across a range of areas after completing your bachelor’s degree.
Postgraduate pathways
Apply with your ATAR to gain entry into both an undergraduate (bachelor’s) and postgraduate degree. Our Direct Pathways and Combined Bachelor’s and Master’s (CBM) mean you’ll graduate with two degrees, and in some cases, reduce the length of your course over applying for a postgraduate degree after your bachelor’s degree.
If you don’t gain entry to a packaged degree, there’s no need to worry. You can still apply for the postgraduate degree of your choice towards the end of your bachelor’s degree, using the marks you’ve gained in your degree.
