Explore the wonder of science: As a Bachelor of Science (BSc) student at Victoria, you’ll absorb knowledge, observe phenomena, experiment with ideas, and maybe even be part of making new discoveries. With a strong practical focus, a BSc will take you far beyond the lecture theatre. Apply your curiosity to the many laboratories, field trips, and summer scholar opportunities offered within this degree.

Cell and Molecular Bioscience

Be part of one of the most exciting areas in modern science. Discover the mechanics of life and how this relates to the health of humans, or to the relationship between organisms and their environment. Take a look at cell biology, genetics and chemical genetics, and study living organisms at the molecular level. You'll get an introduction to physiology and pharmacology, and learn about human organs and organ systems.
