Course description
This course is designed for aspiring professionals in medicine, pharmaceuticals, or quantum sciences, seeking to advance their careers with a comprehensive understanding of their chosen field. Choose this course to join a leading science faculty at UTS, renowned for its contribution to STEM education and research, and for fostering scientific professionals capable of transforming their industries.
What sets this course apart is the option to specialise in one of three cutting-edge majors: Pre-medicine, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or Quantum Technology. Each major offers a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical experience, with opportunities to work with high-quality specimens, engage in advanced research, and develop effective communication skills.
You will gain a deep understanding of your chosen discipline, from human anatomy and drug impacts in the Pre-medicine and Pharmaceutical Sciences majors to the intricacies of quantum devices in the Quantum Technology major. The course emphasises hands-on learning through professional placements, internships, and access to state-of-the-art facilities, ensuring you are well-prepared for postgraduate study or immediate entry into the professional world.
Teaching methods include research-informed lectures, laboratory work, and real-world placements, providing a dynamic and interactive learning environment. You will benefit from personalised attention and the chance to tailor your studies through elective subjects and sub-majors, equipping you with the skills and knowledge to excel in your future career.
The Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation (BCII) enhances your discipline-specific studies with a powerful, future-focused edge. Designed as a transdisciplinary degree, the BCII brings together students from a wide range of fields to develop advanced skills in critical and creative thinking, innovation, complexity, collaboration, entrepreneurship, and future scenario planning. From day one, you’ll work on real-world challenges alongside industry partners, applying high-level conceptual thinking and practical problem-solving across diverse professional contexts. This unique approach boosts your employability and prepares you for leadership roles in an ever-changing world.
The flexibility of this course allows students to either specialise in a specific professional area or develop skills and knowledge in a range of scientific disciplines. All majors aim to produce professional scientists with a thorough grounding in theory, and highly adaptable and practical scientific, experimental and computational skills relevant to the discipline chosen.
By focusing on the high-level conceptual thinking and problem-solving practices that lead to the development of innovative, creative and entrepreneurial outcomes, students of the combined degree also gain leading edge capabilities that are highly valued in the globalised world, including dealing with critical and creative thinking, invention, complexity, innovation, future scenario building and entrepreneurship, as well as the ability to work on their own, across and between other disciplines. These creative intelligence competencies enable graduates to navigate across a rapidly changing world. - ### Important dates

Employers tell us the skills our graduates acquire from undertaking a Transdisciplinary Elective sets them apart from the crowd. That’s why we have embedded this program into every undergraduate degree.
All you need to do is choose the Elective that inspires you the most.
Transdisciplinary Electives integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines, allowing you to approach complex problems from a range of perspectives.
By combining methods and insights from various disciplines, transdisciplinary learning often leads to breakthrough ideas and creative innovations that may not be possible within the confines of a single discipline.
If you find yourself rapt by the world of innovation – you can pair your core degree with a Diploma in Innovation, graduating with two qualifications in the same timeframe.
In both instances, you’ll work on a real-world challenge presented by an industry partner organisation – partners who often create career pathways for our graduates.
