*Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) 2018 National Report
Tasmania is literally a living laboratory
The University of Tasmania has with six diverse ecosystems all within 30 minutes of the Sandy Bay campus, and the world’s second largest temperate rain forest only an hour away. We’re the gateway to Antarctica and, as the birthplace of the green movement, celebrate our biodiversity and environmental sustainability. Your proximity to a wide range of pristine, diverse environments, and the researchers who travel from around the world to work in them, give you unparalleled practical field experience while you study, plus it makes Tasmania an amazing place to live.
Work placement
Students in the Bachelor of Science have many exciting opportunities to participate in work placement. The University of Tasmania has consistently maintained a strong relationship with industries such as agriculture, earth science, and forestry, among others. Through this, many of our students are able to turn practical experience into work experience.
You may also be able to gain practical experience in industry via the Dean's Summer Research Scholarship.
Career outcomes

"The best thing about studying science is that I could follow a passion and change direction as I went, and in doing so I actually opened up even more career options for myself. Studying science doesn’t confine you to a particular career, you could even do something not related to your field of study, using the skills you pick up in research, analysis and communication."
The Science Catalyst Program offers outstanding career advantages, giving you an edge over your competitors.
By combining our highly sought after Bachelor of Science degree with a wealth of extracurricular opportunities, you graduate with a combination of knowledge, skills and experience that truly sets you apart.
The Bachelor of Science is one of the most flexible degrees at the University of Tasmania, giving you opportunities to focus on one area of study, or select several areas across both scientific and non-scientific disciplines. As a result, your career options are many and varied.
If you're not sure where your degree might take you, don't worry! Many students start studying a science degree by following a passion, not knowing exactly where they will end up. During your studies, you will meet other students, academics and visiting lecturers, all of whom may spark an idea of where your particular science degree could take you.
In addition, the Bachelor of Philosophy is offered for no additional cost to high achieving students who want to broaden the scope of their education, gain highly sought after and transferable employment skills.
Career Opportunities with Science
While science career options are wide and varied, they typically fall into three main categories:
- Specialist knowledge (e.g., geologist, marine biologist, IT systems developer).
- Careers where a broad understanding of science is essential (e.g., science teacher, journalism, policy advisor).
- Careers using generic skills obtained during your degree (e.g., public relations, business manager, marketing, government and local councils).
At the University of Tasmania, in addition to specialised scientific knowledge and skills, our focus is on giving you the practical and professional skills that are highly sought after by all employers – creative problem-solving, working in a team environment and flexibility of thinking. We teach you how to think, not what to think.
A career in science can be in any industry on earth. It will come to where your passion takes you.

Statistics and Operations Research
This major is aimed at people who have an interest in modelling and analysing real life systems with element of uncertainty using statistics, applied probability and optimization tools. Since uncertainty is a key feature of both natural and industrial systems, this area is of relevance to a wide range of real-world problems; people with these skills might apply them in evolutionary biology, health care systems, telecommunications, amongst many examples.
If you select both a major and a minor in Mathematics, substitute KMA155 for KMA152, and substitute KMA153 for KMA154. KMA255 should be substituted for KMA252 if it is taken as part of another Mathematics major or minor.
