Bachelor of Science majoring in Evolutionary Biology and Palaeontology
Adelaide University
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 04249J
To meet humanity's future challenges, we need to understand our planet and its systems over the past 4.5 billion years. Our Bachelor of Science majoring in Evolutionary Biology and Palaeontology uses evolutionary theory to explore how life has changed and diversified over geological time. How have mass extinctions altered life on Earth? What do fossils teach us about the pace of evolution? How do human activities impact other species? Develop cross disciplinary knowledge in biology and geology, learning to interpret important clues left by ancient life forms. Work alongside researchers in laboratory and outdoor settings. Fieldwork will build your physical stamina, resilience, and adaptability, preparing you for real-world scientific challenges.
