Course Information

The Bachelor of Advanced Science is designed specifically to develop student learning using an inquiry-oriented and research-immersion model. Students engage in a number of research project subjects based on their chosen major, which include advanced materials and data science; environmental biotechnology; pharmaceutical sciences; and pre-medicine. Students are placed with world-leading research scientists and learn 'on the job', actively mentored in research teams learning theory through real-time application and solving real-world problems. More than just a work placement, this course is a holistic learning experience designed to train the next generation of scientists.

Advanced Materials and Data Science major: Modern civilisation depends upon natural and fabricated materials such as metals, textiles and materials for electronic components and devices. The next generation of advanced materials is key to solving many of society's needs, such as clean energy from solar cells, water purification, and materials that support health and security technologies. This major covers skills and knowledge areas essential for participating in this important technology space: the properties and development of materials; how to measure and test these properties using various experimental techniques. Data science is a new and exciting area of knowledge that is revolutionising materials science in how researchers conduct their work, and analyse the properties of materials and trends in their data to discover new materials and applications.
Environmental Biotechnology major: Humans are in a constant battle with microbes, both medically and environmentally. This major focuses on understanding how to manage microbes that impact upon the environments that we depend upon (including bioremediation, mine waste management), as well as using microbes to solve problems that can lead to commercial end products such as biofuels, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals or agricultural feedstocks. The diversity of microbes with novel traits is immense; a new style of scientist with a specialist background is needed to bioprospect these habitats and identify which microbes can be used to solve environmental challenges. This major focuses on industrial applications of environmental biotechnology. Students develop advanced skills in bioinformatics, microbial ecology, as well as the fundamental sciences to prepare them for an exciting career in the ever expanding field of biotechnology, having a specific focus on environmental applications and solutions to the changing globe.
Pre-Medicine major: This major is distinguished by its strong focus on core topics where in the second and third years of study have a stronger coursework focus. Students are introduced to practices and theory that underlie both medical research and the health professions. The aim is to optimally prepare graduates for health professional careers.
Pharmaceutical Sciences major: This major is distinguished by a focus on core relevant topics in the second and third years of study with a stronger coursework focus. Students learn practises and concepts that are critical for pharmaceutical science progessions. This major is also designed to facilitate an entry pathway to the Master of Pharmacy (C04252).

Career Opportunity

The pre-medicine major prepares students for postgraduate medicine, pharmacy, physiotherapy, health policy writing, health and medical writing, sales and technical support of medical devices, and the pharmaceutical and therapeutic goods industry. Study of advanced materials can lead to more traditional science-based research and development in government, defence and commercial laboratories; and financial modelling, management and other non-technical fields. Examples of positions in environmental biotechnology include industrial biotechnology for the energy sector (biofuel), agricultural sector (feedstock) and environmental management (phyto-remediation).
