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 In Biochemistry, you will explore the chemical components, reactions, structures and processes that form the foundation for all living matter. This investigation is vital to our understanding of the molecular events that underlie biological processes. Monash's Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is recognised as one of the world-leading departments in the field. Our researchers have made strong contributions in the fields of structural biology, molecular cell biology, infection and immunity, and cancer biology and metabolic disease. Given the unrivalled standing of Monash Biochemistry, students receive an exceptional education by world-class researchers and educators. Start of expanded content Biochemistry draws on biology, chemistry and physics, providing a key interface between these fields, opening up our understanding of the causes of disease and providing the basis of the development of effective treatments. It also interacts with cell biology, biotechnology, bioinformatics and mathematical modelling, and has many applications in leading-edge research and technology. Your study will provide you with a broad understanding of biomolecules, machinery and information flow within living cells, and an appreciation of how these underpin all biological processes. In addition, you will learn about a range of specialist areas of biochemistry, and the role of biochemistry in health, and in diseases such as cancer. You will also develop the technical skills needed to work in biochemical laboratory settings. Biochemists find employment in many areas including the following: national and international university or research-institute laboratories; hospitals and diagnostic laboratories; the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and food manufacturing industries; media communications and publishing; government departments and agencies.
