Overview

The Bachelor of Science Advanced (Honours) degree 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 are also able to participate in various enrichment activities and to develop a close association with an appropriate member of one of the faculty's research teams.

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

See the course handbook for more information.

Continuation in the advanced degrees will normally be dependent on students achieving a WAM of at least 80 in each year of study. Students who do not meet the required average will be transferred to the equivalent non-advanced degree.
