About this course

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.

What you will learn

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

The less research-intensive professional skills path will expand your scientific knowledge and skills more broadly. You'll undertake a major industry or community-related project, along with advanced general coursework, in your choice of:

  • science communication
  • science education
  • science innovation
  • science policy
  • project management.

Career pathways

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 master's-level research. Wherever you want to go, you'll be perfectly placed.
