Science degrees are usually built around a major you choose, such as biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics or data science. Most include laboratory or field work.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

Getting into science & mathematics courses

Selection is primarily ATAR-based. Units 3 and 4 English is expected, and mathematics is commonly required or recommended. Some majors assume a Units 3 and 4 science subject, so check the major you want rather than only the degree.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

The lowest ATAR is the lowest rank that got an offer in 2026, not a cut-off or a guarantee. Next year's depends on how many places there are and who applies. How ATARs really work · Didn't get the ATAR you needed?

What this course asks for beyond your ATAR

Getting an offer also involves an admission test. Your rank is not the whole decision here, so a course that looks out of reach on ATAR alone may not be, and one that looks safe may not be either.

Before you can start placement you will need a police check or working with children check. This does not affect whether you get in. It is worth knowing early because some of it takes time to organise.

We show that these requirements exist, not what they currently say, because universities change them and we would rather send you to the source than repeat something out of date. Check the current requirements with SATAC.

Do students stay and finish?

Source: Dept of Education, 2024

Of students who started at Charles Darwin in 2016, nine years later:

Finished a degree: 54.1%
Still studying: 7.5%
Left after returning: 23.8%
Never came back after first year: 14.6%

More recently: of new Charles Darwin bachelor students in 2023, 19.7% didn't come back to study at any university the following year.

Students are followed if they move: finishing a degree at another university counts as finishing, and moving to another university doesn't count as leaving. Read these alongside the quality measures, not instead of them. Completion and attrition partly reflect who a university enrols – universities serving more regional, mature-age and part-time students naturally run higher attrition without being worse at teaching. What completion rates tell you

What it costs, next to what graduates earn

Total student contribution:3 years × $9,880/year ≈ $29,600Estimate

The Australian government sets this rate by field of study, so it is the same at every university in the country – Charles Darwin did not set it and cannot discount it. Your exact total depends on the subjects you pick. Paid through HELP once you're earning, not upfront. How HECS-HELP works

Typical starting salary (all Charles Darwin graduates): $77,000
Typical salary three years on (all Charles Darwin graduates): $95,000
