Bachelor of Multidisciplinary Science Curtin University

Overview

The application of science to real-world problems is increasingly multidisciplinary in nature. In many areas of scientific endeavour, no one science discipline is sufficient to deliver advances and innovation. This is reflected in multidisciplinary fields such as astronomy, biochemistry, bioinformatics, environmental science, forensic science and nanotechnology.

In the  Bachelor of Multidisciplinary Science programme from  Curtin University , you will learn to apply scientific principles and concepts to real-world problems that are multidisciplinary in nature.

You’ll also learn the communication, creative, entrepreneurial and cultural-awareness skills that are important in collaborative careers across industry and government.

What you'll learn

• Have demonstrated knowledge and understanding across more than one field of study that is typically at a level that, whilst supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that will be informed by knowledge of the forefront of the fields of study.

• Apply their knowledge and understanding in a manner that indicates a professional approach to their work or vocation, and have competencies typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments (to both specialist and non-specialist audiences) and solving problems across their fields of study.

• Understand the constructs of the scientific method and apply these principles in representative exercises using digital technologies.

• Gather and interpret relevant data (usually within and across their fields of study) to inform judgements that include reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical issues, including being aware of the diversity of international perspectives associated with the sciences, and how these impact upon the practice of science.

• Understand and appreciate cultural diversity and how it impacts on the practice of science.

• Display a high standard of professional behaviour, including effective time management, both independently and as a team member.
