A Bachelor of Science opens up a world of opportunity. Whether you dream of joining the forefront of research, learning how to analyse and think critically or making the planet a better place, a Bachelor of Science will give you highly sought-after skills for a huge range of careers.

At Sydney you will taught by dedicated scientific thinkers, including members of the Australian Academy of Science, Australian Research Council Fellows and prestigious prize winners. You will study in world-class facilities, including the multimillion-dollar Sydney Nanoscience Hub and the Charles Perkins Centre, with its focus on diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease.

With more than 40 science majors, programs and streams to choose from plus a pool of shared majors from across the University and a flexible degree plan, the three-year Bachelor of Science allows you to find your own path. In your first year, you?ll gain essential knowledge in the fundamental sciences. In second and third years you will specialise in your chosen stream with the option to take elective subjects from across the University.

Study of the brain and nervous system is one of the largest and fastest growing endeavours of the biological sciences, and is research strength at the University of Sydney. A major in Neuroscience will provide you with a foundation in the biology of the brain and the fundamentals of cognition.

You will have the opportunity to learn from researchers in the University's Brain and Mind Centre, and Charles Perkins Centre.

Nutrition Science

Nutrition Science is a multidisciplinary area of study that covers the role of food and nutrients in health and disease, across the lifespan. You will explore the basics of biology and biochemistry before focusing on human nutrition. You will have opportunity to investigate nutrition and the effects of nutrients on health and disease from the molecular to the systems level. You will learn how we sense, digest, metabolise and store nutrients and a develop a wide range of laboratory and research skills, including working with big data sets, which will provide a strong foundation for a career as a nutrition scientist, a research pathway, or, with additional pre-requisites, entry to the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics program.

Graduate opportunities

A major in nutrition and metabolism can open the door to further study in this area. You may wish to consider completing an honours year in nutrition and metabolism, or applying for entry to the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics, which is accredited by the Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA). Graduates with a specialisation in nutrition and metabolism may be able to apply for positions in: hospitals; community health centres and area health services; private practice; sports nutrition; food industry; advertising; consulting; non-government organisations; public service (allied health professionals); academia (lecturer or research scientist in nutrition).
