The Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) is a specialised program that provides high-achieving future leaders the opportunity to pursue their scientific passion and gain extensive research experience under the guidance of prominent research scientists and thought leaders.
Throughout your program you’ll work alongside researchers and collaborate with your peers on cutting-edge research projects to challenge your problem-solving capabilities and develop your research, analytical and communications skills.
In first year, a broad range of advanced courses will enhance your interdisciplinary scientific knowledge and practical skills. You’ll then develop your scientific expertise and technical skills through a core specialisation. Choose from 24 specialist fields from across science and mathematics.
You’ll have the option to complement your specialisation with a major or minor across a broad range of scientific fields, with a choice of 24 majors and 32 minors. Alternatively, diversify your skill set by choosing from 46 minors in other study areas, including languages, communication, design and economics.
Your final year will be dedicated to an independent research project in your chosen specialisation. In some cases this may also be combined with advanced coursework to enhance your expertise.
You'll graduate with a respected honours qualification, with advanced knowledge and skills that will set you apart in a competitive job market, prove your leadership potential and provide a pathway into future research and learning.
Study the molecular events controlling the growth and development of cells and organisms in all living things. In this specialisation, you'll develop a comprehensive understanding of the chemical basis of life and its relevance to research and development in areas like medicine, proteomics, genomics, bioinformatics, biotechnology and genetic engineering.
Learn how molecular events can go wrong in certain diseased states and how this contributes to the development of new drugs. You’ll develop and apply your knowledge through practical laboratory experience, structured tutorials, specialised seminars, and contributing to active research projects.
In your final year, you’ll undertake your own independent research project under the guidance of an academic supervisor and present your findings to the scientific community. Deepen your scientific expertise by combining your specialisation with a major or minors from a wide range of science disciplines. Or broaden your skill set even further by choosing from 46 minors in other study areas, including languages, communication, design and economics.
With a qualification in advanced science, you’ll be well equipped to progress into a higher degree by research and kickstart your research career. Career paths lead to some of the most exciting, challenging and innovation-led roles in science and medicine, from laboratories, hospitals and government agencies to specific positions in research.
