Modern Languages and Science

About the course

This combined bachelor’s course lets you graduate with two qualifications in four years: a Bachelor of Modern Languages and a Bachelor of Science. You’ll develop advanced proficiency in one language plus functional competence in a second language, while building scientific knowledge through a wide range of science major options. The flexible structure can help you broaden career options and, if needed, complete one degree separately. This is a Bachelor-level combined program in languages and science.

Career outcome

Graduates can pursue roles that value strong cross-cultural communication alongside scientific capability, working across government, education, research support, consulting, international business and community or environmental organisations. Combining language proficiency with a science discipline can suit work in globally connected industries, science communication, policy, and roles requiring technical knowledge with multilingual capability. This is a Bachelor-level pathway spanning modern languages and science.
