The University of Notre Dame Australia's dual Bachelor of Science and Behavioural Science program merges scientific exploration of the natural world with the study of human behavior patterns. This dynamic pairing blends theoretical foundations with hands-on learning, preparing graduates for diverse career paths. The integrated degree offers an ideal academic pathway, featuring interdisciplinary science coursework in experimental methods, mathematics, life sciences, chemistry, and ecological studies. These foundational classes cultivate essential scientific competencies - from data gathering and interpretation to analytical reasoning, collaborative problem-solving, and clear communication - producing adaptable professionals. Such capabilities are valued across numerous industries, both within and beyond scientific fields.

Students expand their scientific expertise by choosing a specialized track aligned with their passions: Biological & Environmental Studies, Environmental & Heritage Conservation, Human & Medical Sciences, or Interdisciplinary Science. Each concentration provides immersive learning through classroom instruction, lab work, and field research. The Behavioural Science curriculum uniquely synthesizes psychological principles with political science, cultural anthropology, and sociological perspectives. With an emphasis on critical psychology approaches, the program bridges conventional psychological theory with social welfare practice. Graduates develop specialized competencies for supporting marginalized populations. The degree requires twelve Behavioural Science courses, including a professional internship that translates classroom knowledge into real-world experience.
