Bachelor of Science

Including Mathematics major

Career opportunities

Chemistry graduates find ready employment in industry, government departments and authorities, and research laboratories. Their work may involve research, development and design of new products and processes, sample testing and analysis, quality control and laboratory management.

Employment opportunities for Mathematics graduates include forecasting and risk analysis in the finance and insurance industries; modelling of environmental and industrial systems; optimisation - transport industries, urban and regional planning, data analysis; government and business; signal and image processing; astronomy, remote sensing and GIS; technical programming and teaching.

A graduate in Spatial Science could expect to find employment in the expanding industries of resource monitoring, mapping and planning. Areas such as agriculture, geology and environmental studies are all seeking graduates with image analysis, GIS and computing skills to support both project and research work. Jobs are found at all levels of federal, state and local government as well as the private sector.

Graduates in Biology will have a broad grounding in the biological sciences and can expect to find employment in a variety of government and semi-government organisations as well as in industry and teaching.

Graduates in Forensic Chemistry will be proficient in general forensic science, crime scene management and fire science. Subjects studied will cover crime scene management, scene contamination and preservation, evidence detection, combustion science, explosives, electricity, fire/arson investigation, and separation and identification of unknown compounds. Supporting studies will explore the general areas of chemistry, statistics, Australian business law, biomedical sciences and information technology. The combination of studies ensures forensic study is embedded in a more general degree and so prepares graduates for employment in a cross-section of careers including chemistry disciplines as well as forensic science.
