Bachelor of Science
at Murdoch University, Western Australia.
Murdoch's science degrees are listed by major on TISC; ranks shown are for environmental science and management at Perth, and conservation and wildlife biology and marine biology were also at Murdoch's 70.00 minimum. Murdoch has no subject prerequisites beyond English competence; any listed subjects are recommendations only.
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 Murdoch Bachelor of Science for that intake. Universities publish it in their admissions student profiles. Only intakes with a published figure are listed.
| Intake | Lowest selection rank | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 70.00 | tisc.edu.au |
| 2025 | 70.00 | tisc.edu.au |
