Program Overview
The Bachelor of Science (Advanced)(Honours) program provides a comprehensive foundation in science, allowing students to explore various fields before specializing in their second and third years. The program emphasizes advanced research skills, internships, and international study opportunities. Students can choose a disciplinary research path or a professional skills pathway in their honours year, preparing them for leadership roles in scientific disciplines or as science generalists in various sectors.
Program Outline
Degree Overview:
Be a visionary science leader Like the Bachelor of Science (Honours), our direct-entry Bachelor of Science (Advanced)(Honours) is ideal if you haven’t yet chosen an area of science to specialise in, but—once you have—want to follow that path well beyond step one. The program again builds on our Bachelor of Science (Advanced) and lets you explore your scientific curiosity before specialising. But at every stage, you’ll be challenged by even greater academic demands. Ultimately, you’ll emerge as a clear future leader in your field.
Outline:
Your first year is all about discovery. You’ll investigate a number of scientific fields, before choosing a major to focus on in years two and three (see Bachelor of Science (Advanced) for choices). During this time you’ll enjoy the same fantastic opportunities offered to all Bachelor of Science (Advanced) students. That includes developing advanced research skills, making real-world connections through internships, and potentially gaining global experience with international study. In your honours year, you’ll then advance along either a disciplinary research or professional skills pathway. The disciplinary research path is the most research-intensive. Working with a specific researcher or research group, you’ll undertake a major research project, together with advanced coursework, in one of the following study areas: Agricultural science Animal behaviour Animal science Chemistry Ecology and evolutionary biology Energy geoscience Environmental geoscience Geology Geophysics Molecular and biomedical science Physics Plant science Soil science Wine science Search for an honours supervisor Where could it take you? Depending on your study choices, you could emerge well-prepared for senior and leadership roles in a specific scientific discipline or as a science generalist, in the public or private sector. Or perhaps you’ll aim higher still and go on to Masters or PhD-level research.
