This degree is a building block for a multitude of careers, because it gives students an internationally-recognised broad grounding in many areas of science, providing a foundation which can lead to specialised postgraduate studies or a range of careers. La Trobe offers a highly flexible degree structure, with 14 subject areas to choose from, as well as the opportunity to include subjects from other faculties as part of your degree. Because La Trobe has strong links to industry, students routinely enjoy guest lectures and work placement opportunities with leading government and research organisations as well as volunteering opportunities which will help build students' CVs. Students can also access a wide range of support programs within the faculty, making transition to university much less challenging. La Trobe is one of the fastest-growing science research organisations in Australia, with the completion of AgriBio, the Centre for AgriBioscience a $288 million public private partnership with the Victorian government and La Trobe University, and the construction of the $94-million La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science (LIMS) at the Melbourne campus. These Centres are expanding laboratory facilities as well as teaching and research opportunities for La Trobe's science students. Please note that students who enrol in the first year of this degree at the Albury-Wodonga campus must transfer to the Melbourne campus to complete the degree. Prerequisite
