Bachelor of Science
You may choose to structure your science degree around areas related to nursing – such as anatomy, pharmacology, immunobiology, microbiology, neuroscience, psychology, information systems, physiology, genetics, or molecular biology. These majors will all assist you with your nursing career, or provide a great base for Graduate Entry Medicine. Alternatively, you might be interested in an area of science not specifically related to nursing. You can discover more about what courses are offered in the Science Handbook.
