Career Outcomes
Global Challenges aims to equip our graduates to lead and thrive in a complex world where traditional, singular skillsets are not enough to affect meaningful change. In addition to their major and minor in a science discipline of their choice, this degree embeds entrepreneurship, business, communication, policy and cross-cultural competency to nurture the scientific leaders of tomorrow.
Global Challenges offers a truly transformative undergraduate experience, allowing students to push boundaries set by traditional thinking and traditional university courses, it’s ‘outside of the box thinking’ at a scale not previously offered by an Australian University.
