Be a visionary

Love scientific enquiry and research? Aspire to be outstanding in your field? The Bachelor of Science (Advanced) is a distinctive vocational degree for high-achieving students who want to excel in their chosen career.

What will you do?

Our advanced degree challenges you to take your scientific training and research skills to the next level. You will: learn to drive scientific breakthroughs as you join a research-rich institution at the cutting edge of discovery; dive straight into life as a researcher with early access to real-world research opportunities usually reserved for honours or postgraduate students; link with academic mentors and staff in pioneering research areas, allowing you to establish networks before you graduate; build a breadth of experience through lab placements and a semester-long research project; work on further projects that can be developed for an honours year and postgraduate study (Masters or PhD).

You’ll design your own degree from a broad range of scientific Majors: Biochemistry; Bioinformatics; Chemistry; Ecology; Evolutionary Biology; Genetics; Geology; Geophysics; Microbiology and Immunology; Palaeontology; Physics; Plant Biology; Soil Science; Theoretical Physics.

You can also undertake a double major in: Chemistry (double); Ecology and Spatial Science; Experimental and Theoretical Physics; Palaeontology – Evolution; Palaeontology – Geology.

Where could it take you?

You’ll graduate with enhanced research and project management skills for further study or leadership roles in your chosen specialisation. You could solve global ecology challenges or win the Nobel Prize as a quantum physicist. You might spearhead an entirely new career in space entrepreneurship, genomic editing, or stem cell engineering. Perhaps you’ll communicate science as an educator, politician, or legislator. Whatever you choose, you’ll be prepared to lead the world.
