Program overview
You will be able to choose from the same majors as students in the Bachelor of Science, but this will be paired with a set of core Advanced subjects that develop computational and quantitative skills to a higher level than in the Bachelor of Science. This allows you to select the major/s you feel passionate about, while simultaneously developing crucial analytical and modelling skills that are in high demand throughout the sciences.
An Honours degree is an additional one-year study program (full-time or equivalent) that includes the development of a personal research project and thesis. The three-year Bachelor of Advanced Science is ideal preparation for the rigours of an Honours year, and Advanced Science students are encouraged to consider this option. Honours is especially recommended for students who wish to pursue a career with significant involvement in scientific research. An Honours degree is usually essential for entry to research higher degrees.

Career opportunities
The scientific and environmental challenges of the future are increasingly interdisciplinary and quantitative, and they require scientists who can work comfortably with the cutting edge methods of scientific analysis and modelling that now pervade all of the sciences. By graduating with a Bachelor of Advanced Science, you’ll demonstrate that you have prepared yourself to meet these challenges head-on.
So, regardless of whether your passion is Marine Biology, Aquaculture, Earth Science, Chemistry, Mathematics, Molecular and Cell Biology, Physics, or Zoology and Ecology, this is your opportunity to get the best preparation to be a leader and innovator in your field.
Moreover, the high transferability of quantitative and computational skills ensure that you’ll be responsive to the dynamic, rapidly-changing nature of science. This adaptability is essential for anyone hoping to make a lifelong career in the sciences.
