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. 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 If you're curious about things such as why the sky is blue, how a mobile phone works, or what the universe is made of, physics can quench your thirst for knowledge and prepare you for a fascinating career. By studying Physics at Monash you will have access to world-leading researchers and facilities. We have developed a new way of teaching physics and astronomy – called the Physics and Astronomy Collaborative-learning Environment (PACE). The PACE Studios were designed purposefully to promote independent learning, and develop the analytical, problem-solving and communication skills prized by industry. We are forging a community of students who are active learners, able to apply their knowledge and skills in creative and imaginative ways. Physics is the study of space and time, matter and energy. By carrying out experiments and developing conceptual models, physicists seek to provide a fundamental understanding of how our physical universe works. Physics ranges from the very practical, such as developing biomedical-imaging and optoelectronic devices, to asking curiosity-driven questions about the nature of reality or how complexity arises from simple constituents. The skills you gain through studying Physics at Monash can be used in a diverse range of areas including the following: modelling complex financial systems, climate modelling, looking at innovative ways to address sustainability, understanding our place in the universe, understanding things like consciousness and complex biological systems. With a major in Physics you will have a vast range of challenging and fascinating career options. You may find yourself working with lasers, medical imaging, and nanotechnology in a range of contexts, including electronics, communications, aeronautics, minerals exploration and space science. As a physicist you may be employed as researcher in a university, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, the Australian Synchrotron, and the Defence Science and Technology Organisation. Physicists are also found working in the renewable energy sector, science teaching, climate modelling and science communication.
