A three-year science degree at ECU Joondalup (ranks shown) and Bunbury (75.90 in 2026), for students who want to study science before choosing a specialisation. Prerequisites apply only to specific majors, such as Year 11 Mathematics Methods for data science.
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 ECU Bachelor of Science for that intake. Universities publish it in their admissions student profiles. Only intakes with a published figure are listed.
