The Applied Science course enables students to tailor their science degree to their own areas of interest and career aspirations. The program offers flexibility and diversity by enabling students to study in different areas of science offered in the School of Environmental and Life Sciences, as well as allowing students to integrate studies from a variety of areas outside of traditional science disciplines into their science degree.

Graduates are equipped to demonstrate and apply an understanding of their chosen areas of science, including concepts, theories and principles to practice in real situations. Students also become effective problem solvers able to think globally, apply logical and critical thinking, and to apply an understanding of scientific and technological factors and to consider issues from various cultural, economic and other societal perspectives.

The commerce course is vocationally orientated and student centred, and it provides students with the career and professional skills needed in a rapidly changing business environment. It allows for flexibility of study and prepares students for careers in a variety of business fields. In addition, communication, presentation and problem-solving skills are emphasised.

This course meets the needs of various professional bodies and the community. This means that students are assured of completing a course that is not only academically challenging and personally satisfying, but also vocationally relevant. Students have a wide choice of units based upon their personal and career interests.

Graduates of this combined degree are awarded both the Bachelor of Applied Science and the Bachelor of Commerce.
