Your degree commences with an integrated suite of four core subjects, introducing you to key concepts and skills from across the physical (physics, chemistry and geospatial), life (biological, environmental and food), data and mathematical sciences. During your science studies, you will also study subjects from the Future Technology Skills suite, enabling you to explore important interdisciplinary fields in STEM disciplines, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), sustainable development and innovation, and the future of work. After your first semester, you will follow your chosen specialisations and select your major(s), and complementary generalist and specialist minors. Possible combinations include two majors, or one major and two minors. You may choose your major from: Biological Sciences Biotechnology Chemistry Food Science and Technology Geospatial Science Mathematics Nutrition Science Physics Statistics You can choose from generalist minor(s) in: Biosciences Chemistry Environmental Science Food Science Foundations of Teaching Geospatial Science Mathematics Nutrition Science Physics Statistics and specialist minors in: Advanced Chemistry Advanced Physics Biodiversity and Ecology Biotechnology Environmental and Analytical Chemistry Environmental Biology and Ecosy
