Studies in science allow you to research problems, interpret data and propose solutions. Studies in business will focus on how organisations operate in the wider commercial and economic environments. When combined, the skills and knowledge from these two fields can place you in a key position to work with the complex challenges we will face in the future.

The major areas of study in Science include ecology and conservation biology, cell and molecular biology, chemistry, geology, environment and physical geography. The major areas of study in Commerce include accountancy, business law, economics, finance, financial planning, human resource management, international business, management, marketing, public relations, and supply chain management.
Subjects

Standard entry requirements
DOMESTIC STUDENTS - ATAR-BASED ADMISSION OPTIONS Guaranteed entry selection ranks: Entry to this course can be gained with: Minimum ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) International Baccalaureate (IB) Interstate equivalent (such as the Victorian ENTER or Queensland OP) Results in an overseas qualification deemed equivalent to Australian year 12. The minimum score for guaranteed entry (or for consideration if this course has limited places) is an ATAR-Selection Rank of 72 or an IB of 26. This includes the effect of adjustment factors. Adjustment factors, such as the subjects you are studying, the area in which you live or equity and access schemes, are taken into consideration and these will be combined with your ATAR to adjust your selection rank and make it higher than your ATAR. These adjustments used to be called bonus points. ASSUMED KNOWLEDGE AND RECOMMENDED STUDIES Bachelor of Commerce: The University assumes students will have studied any 2 units of English. Bachelor of Science: The University assumes students will have studied Mathematics plus any 2 units of Science. Students who have not completed Chemistry and/or Biology at the HSC are strongly recommended to enrol in bridging courses offered in February each year. Students without at least Mathematics (Band 4) are required to pass an approved mathematics subject during their degree. Ideally, students will have studied at least 4 units of Science. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Applicants need to have achieved the required score in a qualification equivalent to the completion of 13 years of schooling in Australia. In order to succeed in your chosen course, it is assumed you have completed relevant subjects in your senior high school studies or other relevant qualifications. This is particularly important for degrees which have a strong basis in Mathematics or Science.
