Overview
Every scientific breakthrough is accompanied by a complex transition from the laboratory to the community and the corporate world is increasingly influenced by scientific advances and developments.
This double degree course in commerce and science gives you the skills to commercialise scientific research or outcomes, or apply commercial knowledge in research environments.
You have the opportunity to develop the technical and research skills required in scientific fields, while developing a strong understanding of the commercial realities of research as a business. You can combine your majors to explore areas of interest or develop new ones:
- Pursue your mathematical talents with majors in applied mathematics and actuarial studies or econometrics, which could lead to an academic career or the development of new mathematical models and principles.
- Blend studies in environmental science or conservation with a major in sustainability and introduce sustainable practices into the community or across organisations.
- Turn majors in pharmacology and marketing science into a successful career marketing new medications or scientific breakthroughs.
