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.

 

What will you do?

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:

• Biochemistry
• Bioinformatics
• Chemistry
• Ecology and Environmental Science
• Evolutionary Biology
• Experimental and Theoretical Physics
• Genetics
• Geology
• Geology and Earth Resources
• Geology and Geophysics
• Geology and Palaeontology
• Microbiology and Immunology
• Nuclear and Radiation Physics**
• Palaeontology
• Palaeontology and Evolution
• Physics
• Physics and Geophysics
• Plant Biology
• Pure and Applied Chemistry
• Soil Science
• Theoretical Physics
