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 Human pathology is the fascinating study of disease processes, particularly cell death, inflammation, disorders of immunity and neoplasia. This discipline delves into the body's responses to the disruption of normal tissue structure and function by injurious agents. Your studies will draw upon key disciplines such as biochemistry, microbiology, immunology and developmental biology. You will develop skills commonly used in the laboratory, such as microscopy, histological staining techniques, diagnosis and problem-solving. You will be taught by academics and clinician-scientists working at the forefront of translational medicine at, for example, Monash's world-renowned Australian Centre for Blood Diseases (ACBD) at the Alfred Monash Research and Education Precinct (AMREP). Start of expanded content You will be exposed to the study of disease from a clinical and research perspective. Research has always been the foundation of this discipline, since understanding disease provides answers on how to test for a disease in the clinic or laboratory, and on how a specific disease can be prevented and treated. A comprehensive understanding of cell injury, inflammation, wound healing, fluid and vascular disorders, growth disorders, and immunopathology are fundamental to all clinical and research disciplines. This knowledge helps define how organ systems fail during disease and injury – critical for diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic intervention. As a graduate with a major in Human pathology, you will be equipped for employment in biomedical research in: diagnostic laboratories; hospitals or private pathologies; the biopharmaceutical industry; clinical trials; or commercial and patent law.
