Ben Gad: So the reason why I chose a science degree at UTS is primarily because my cousin came to UTS and she had only good things to say about UTS, but also because my HSC chemistry class came on a tour of UTS and we spent the vast majority of the day actually in the science building. So I was just really impressed with the facilities, also speaking to academics.
I knew that UTS was going to offer me a science degree that was skills-based as opposed to being memory based. I think what people really need to realise is that it's the skills that you get in the science degree, not necessarily the knowledge itself, that are really beneficial. Those skills are transferrable outside of the science discipline.
Stephanie Tan: I chose my science degree, forensic science and applied chemistry at UTS because UTS was easily accessible from where I live. Also UTS was one of the first unis to offer forensic science. During my forensic science degree practical experiences include lab exercises, which are offered with theory. That sort of led me to an internship at ANSTO for one year. That experience has led me to understand how the industry works and what they expect in a lab situation.
Bojana Manojlovic: I chose maths and international studies at UTS because UTS combined the two things that I loved most; mathematics and languages. I spent my in-country study in Milan, Italy. It was a fantastic experience. The maths degree covers a range of mathematical topics like statistics, optimisation, a little bit of pure maths, a lot of applied maths. Later on, once you start getting into the degree, you can choose which path you wish to take, such as environmental, marine, business or finance.
Matt Altaie: During the degree itself you spend at least half the time in the lab. So there's a lot of practical work involved as part of your academic study. However, outside of that a lot of the lecturers actually do their own research here at UTS, which has a lot to do with the physics and the technology fields. You can actually come up and ask them, can I help you with something over summer or over winter or even throughout the semester if they have that kind of thing happening.
The biggest thing though is you are encouraged to use your creative thinking and your problem-solving and you are actually taught to construct all that stuff. So you are, at the end of the day, taught how to think as opposed to what to think.
Liana Pozza: I chose a science degree at UTS because I've always loved environmental sciences. This degree has been really practical in that every subject has had at least one field trip component to it. So whether that be testing water quality, biological indicators such as algae or bugs. Also I've been helping out a PhD student with her seagrass research. Helping her out with this project has really gotten me thinking of getting into research.
Bachelor of Science Master of Teaching in Secondary Education
Note
This new course replaces the Bachelor of Arts Bachelor of Education (Secondary) from 2021. Students may use the 2020 selection rank for the Bachelor of Science (Flexible, no specified major) as a guide. The lowest selection rank for Autumn 2020 intake was 75.70.
This course is designed for aspiring secondary education teachers specialising in Science or Mathematics. Choose this course to become a well-equipped educator, ready to teach in New South Wales with a deep understanding of your subject matter.
What sets this course apart is its Vertical Stack structure (undergraduate + postgraduate degree), allowing you to study science comprehensively before transitioning to teaching modules in your second year. This approach bypasses the usual entry requirement of three Band 5 HSC results, including English, for admission to an initial teacher education course.
You'll be expected to maintain a Credit average in your initial years to proceed to the latter stages of the program. Failing to do so will still permit you to graduate with a Bachelor of Science.
Engage in 80 days of practical teaching at one of over 200 partner schools in NSW, honing your skills in curriculum and classroom management. This hands-on experience is invaluable for building confidence and professional networks.
By completing this course, you'll fast-track your career with a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Teaching, opening doors to diverse career opportunities within the education sector.
The combined "Vertical Stack" course (undergraduate + postgraduate degree) enables students to gain a greater depth of disciplinary knowledge in science before commencing the teaching subjects in the Master of Teaching from their second year of study. Gaining a wider and deeper understanding in their field of study gives them more confidence when commencing as a teacher. Students enter the classroom up to date on the most current developments in the discipline, and this is highly valued by schools.
The unique vertical structure of this combined course means students do not need to meet the standard three Band 5 HSC results, including English, for admission to an initial teacher education course.
To ensure that a high quality of teachers are maintained in the education sector, students need to achieve a Credit average in the first two years of their university studies before progressing into the final years of the program.
If students do not meet the Credit average, they will still be able to continue in the Bachelor of Science and graduate with that qualification.
Students spend 80 days in one of more than 200 secondary schools across NSW. This practical experience with a trusted UTS partner school helps students gain the skills and confidence incurriculum and classroom management required for effective teaching in their chosen discipline/s (Junior Science Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Physics and/or Mathematics), and also helps them develop personal and professional networks within and beyond education for their future career path.
Not only are students accelerated in their career pathway to secondary teaching by achieving two qualifications, including one at postgraduate level, within the duration of a single undergraduate degree, they have the benefits of a range of career options.

For relevant fee information, please choose from the following:
Local student
All students at UTS pay tuition fees to contribute towards the cost of their studies.
In 2024 all offers made to domestic undergraduate students will be for Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP), which means that the Australian government makes a substantial contribution towards the cost of your education, and you pay the balance through student contributions.
The amount you pay depends on your area of study and the number of credit points (cp) in which you enrol. At UTS 48 credit points is considered to be one Equivalent Full Time Study Load (EFTSL).
The table to the right shows the amount a student can expect to pay for one year of full-time study (1.0 EFTSL).
Students can choose to pay their student contribution upfront, or if eligible, can defer their fees through HECS-HELP.
In addition to tuition fees, students are required to pay a Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF). The purchase of textbooks and other course materials may also result in additional cost.
You can calculate your student contribution as a percentage of the amounts shown on the table. Fee rates are divided into four bands covering broad discipline areas. It is important to note that a particular subject within a course may fall within a different band.
For example, if you are enrolled in a 6-credit point Architecture subject, your contribution would be 6/48 x $9,314 = $1,164.
Student contribution amounts for 2025 commencing students
2025 student contribution - Area of Study | Amount for 48 cp |
---|---|
Law, Accounting, Administration, Economics, Commerce, Communications and Society and Culture | $16,992 |
Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Science | $13,241 |
