Overview

Bachelor of Science Advanced (Honours)

The Bachelor of Science Advanced (Honours) degree at UOW is for high-achieving students interested in a challenging program leading to a career in scientific research. 

The program offers a greater degree of flexibility in program design, providing an opportunity to undertake individual research subjects at 2nd, 3rd and 4th-year levels. 

Students can also participate in various enrichment activities and develop a close association with an appropriate member of one of the Faculty's research teams. 

In the final year, all students undertake substantial supervised research in their major discipline, together with other required seminars and/or coursework.

Continuation in the Advanced degrees will generally depend on students achieving a WAM of at least 80 in each year of study. 

Students not meeting the required average will be transferred to the equivalent non-advanced degree.

The following majors are on offer in this Bachelor of Science Advanced (Honours) program:

  • Atmospheric Science
  • Biomolecular Physics
  • Physics
