About studying science & mathematics
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?

Do students stay and finish?
Source: Dept of Education, 2024Of students who started at CQUniversity in 2016, nine years later:
- Finished a degree
- 55.7%
- Still studying
- 6%
- Left after returning
- 24.9%
- Never came back after first year
- 13.4%
More recently: of new CQUniversity bachelor students in 2023, 20.2% 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.

Total student contribution:4 years × $9,880/year ≈ $39,500Estimate
The Australian government sets this rate by field of study, so it is the same at every university in the country – CQUniversity 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
