Challenge and develop your critical thinking and analytical skills in this elite four-year program, and prepare yourself for a rewarding career in science research and industry.
The Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) will challenge you and develop your deep interest in science to create the foundation for a high-achieving career in scientific research and industry.
In first year you'll learn interdisciplinary approaches to problem-solving and build networks with other high-achieving students and research scientists.
In years two and three of the program, you’ll develop your quantitative, computational, practical and problem-solving skills through group research projects. You'll develop specialised knowledge in your area of interest with majors including Biology, Biomedical Science, Chemistry, Geographical Sciences, Geological Sciences, Mathematics and Physics. You'll be able to enhance your specialisation with a choice of 22 minors available under the program.
After developing your cutting-edge practical research skills, your final year will be dedicated to an extensive full-year independent research project.
You'll find expanding career possibilities in diverse roles within the government, health, corporate, environmental and financial sectors and in research organisations globally.
Advanced Science is also an excellent pathway into medicine or a research higher degree such as a PhD.
