Bachelor of Science (Science)
at Curtin University, Western Australia.
A three-year science degree at Curtin Perth (Bentley). TISC lists each major separately: the ranks shown are for environmental science (prerequisite Mathematics Applications ATAR). Most majors have a 70.00 minimum; some, such as data science and mathematics, need Mathematics Methods ATAR.
Lowest selection rank
The lowest selection rank (LSR) is the lowest ATAR plus adjustment factors (equity, subject and regional bonuses) that received an offer to the Curtin Bachelor of Science (Science) for that intake. Universities publish it in their admissions student profiles. Only intakes with a published figure are listed.
