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 Atmospheric science at Monash explores the structure and evolution of the atmosphere and addresses how we understand climate and forecast the weather. It is an interdisciplinary science that draws on the strengths of environmental science, applied mathematics, physical geography and the applications of concepts in physics and chemistry. Using impressive, state-of-the-art facilities, you will be taught by experts in the field. With outstanding opportunities to gain both practical, real-world experience and theory-based knowledge, your studies will include a mix of field work, data analysis, theoretical research and modelling. Start of expanded content Weather and climate are both critical to understanding the natural environment, particularly at a time when the earth is experiencing rapid changes. You will develop an understanding of the physical theory of the earth's atmosphere and how it relates to climate and weather forecasting. You will also acquire high-level knowledge of the important techniques and processes used in atmospheric science to study such phenomena as climate variability, large-scale weather and the earth boundary layer, and a range of environmental issues, including climate change. On completion of your Atmospheric science studies, you might choose a career in closely aligned sectors such as the Bureau of Meteorology or consultancies that deal with weather and climate, or in disparate industries such as risk-management for banks and insurance companies.
