To study entomology at university you will most likely need to enrol in a Bachelor of Science, but that will depend on the institution you chose to attend. Should your chosen institution not offer enough entomology for your liking, you are able (in most cases) to take some subjects from an alternative institution as a part of your degree. Some of the entomology subjects listed are perfect for this (termed cross-institutional enrollment) as they are offered online. For more information on enrolling via cross institutional enrollment click here.

The following is a list of entomology subjects offered at the various universities throughout Australia. Contact the university of your preference to find out about studying entomology with them. 

How to enrol

If you want to enrol in a subject that is not offered by your home institution, you will need to enrol via cross-institutional enrollment:

  • Present the information about the subject(s) to the Faculty Office/Head of Program at your own institution and request permission to have your enrollment in ECA subjects count towards your degree.
  • Complete the forms/process required to enable your institution to recognise your cross-institutional enrolment.
  • Contact the institution(s) offering the ECA subject(s) you are interested in, tell them about your intention to take the ECA subject via cross-institutional enrollment and enrol as per their requirements.

Enrolling for personal/professional interest

If you want to complete an entomology subject on its own for professional development or personal interest and not as part of a degree, then you can enrol as a non-award enrollment.

  • Contact the institution(s) offering the subject(s) you are interested in, tell them about your intention to take the subject as a non-award student and enrol as per their requirements.
