The Faculty of Applied Science brings together an interdisciplinary team of leading educators and researchers to provide the very best opportunities for you to study, learn and progress toward a satisfying and productive career in the Applied Sciences.

We are a niche faculty with focus on courses in our areas of specialty and strength in the Biomedical Sciences, Forensic Studies and the Environmental Sciences. Our programs are interesting and exciting, and you will be taught by well-rounded practitioners doing good science, but with a keen eye out for application of their knowledge to meet contemporary challenges faced by society. Our staff have impeccable connections with government, industry and the community in general and thus with potential employers. UC is at the top of the ranks among Australian universities for graduate employment.

If you like science, and if you have a passion for making a difference in a career aligned with our areas of strength in teaching and research, then we are the home for you.

The Faculty has three research institutes in the National Centre for Forensic Studies  (NCFS), Centre for Research in Therapeutic Solutions (CResTS) and the Institute for Applied Ecology. The Cooperative Research Centres of eWater and Invasive Animals both have their headquarters on campus. These institutes and joint ventures provide unparalleled opportunity to continue your studies at postgraduate level leading to a research career.

You will find us a warm and supportive environment in which to work and study toward your life-long goals. I look forward to meeting and working with you over the coming years.
