Science holds the key to answering some of the most complex questions and global challenges we face today. But to create real change, we need more than just brilliant scientific minds. We need a new generation of science graduates equipped with a broad set of skills and experiences that complement their science training, and who can push the boundaries of possibility. The Bachelor of Science Advanced – Global Challenges (Honours) includes all the elements of a Bachelor of Science, but with more. If you love science, and you are curious, adventurous, creative and prepared to challenge the status quo, then this course is for you. Start of expanded content The only one of its kind in Australia, this course will provide you with all the opportunities available to a Science honours graduate, plus many more. In addition to studying the scientific discipline of your choice – from the broad range available at Monash – you'll receive high-level training in leadership, persuasive communication, entrepreneurship, policy, ethics and corporate social responsibility. Add access to state-of-the-art facilities, world-class teaching, inspiring high-profile guest speakers, and two one domestic or international internship programs, with at least one international placement, and you'll graduate with the tools and know-how to transform your scientific expertise into a thriving business or social enterprise. The summit of your experience will be a year-long project where you will tackle a problem of real-world significance. Mentored by successful external leaders, you will work in small teams to develop innovations and solutions to approach an issue from scientific, policy, social and business perspectives. You'll be perfectly placed to pursue employment with the world's leading consultancies, businesses, government and other institutions. You will also be equipped with the skills to use science to address complex global challenges, and convert ideas, potential and ambition into tangible solutions The study of Applied mathematics – a fascinating, challenging and inspirational field – will see you using mathematical techniques and models to obtain practical solutions to concrete problems. The course will foster your natural curiosity and your innovative problem-solving skills will come to the fore. Applications of mathematics span most branches of modern science, medicine, engineering, information technology and commerce. Applied mathematics will equip you with the tools required to develop new mathematical theories or adapt existing approaches to specific applications. Start of expanded content Applied mathematicians do not just rely on existing mathematical theories and techniques – they often need to develop new theories or adapt existing approaches to the specific application. They try to view problems in an abstract form, so they can identify links with other applications and build upon the existing knowledge. A key feature of applied mathematics is its emphasis on the mathematical techniques and approaches used, and what they are able to reveal about each application, rather than a detailed understanding of the application area itself. You will develop exceptional skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, modelling, learning, analysis, research and creativity. These skills are highly sought after by employers. Diverse career opportunities await graduates in a variety of fields, including finance, computing and insurance industries, medical and scientific research and development, the public service, journalism and teaching.
