The Bachelor of Global and Ocean Sciences (Honours) is a new multidisciplinary science degree offered at the ANU that encompasses many fields, in particular, biology, chemistry, ecology, geography, geology, (geo)physics, and mathematics with emphasis on modelling, all applied to an understanding of global environmental change and the world's oceans. In addition, this degree requires knowledge of how science is incorporated with, and impacts upon, policy and regulation, nationally and internationally.

This degree is for students who want to make a difference to the world and are motivated by the opportunity to work alongside a small group of peers. Students will learn not just from leading academics, but experts and specialists who apply science in their everyday work - scientists, researchers, environmentalists and decision makers who connect science with the global community.
