The Bachelor of Science Advanced – Research(Honours) is a high-profile, four-year advanced version of the Bachelor of Science for high-achieving students who intend to pursue careers as research scientists. This esteemed course will allow you to progress more quickly to higher-level units, give you more flexibility in your choice of units, and provide you with exciting opportunities to participate in research, embedded in a Monash research team. With access to exclusive enrichment programs and research mentoring by leading scientists, your career as a scientist will really take off. Start of expanded content Offering all of the key features of the Bachelor of Science – including choice, flexibility and depth across the huge range of science disciplines available at Monash – this advanced version will provide you with both abroad, general science education and specialist training in one or more science disciplines. This will be deepened and strengthened by: the freedom to accelerate more quickly to higher-level units additional flexibility in subject choices research mentoring by leading scientists in your chosen field exclusive extra-curricular programs only available to those taking this course As a graduate, you'll have advanced research skills and a thorough command of your chosen field[s] of science. Add to this our world-class teaching and research, state-of-the-art facilities, and the prestige that comes with an advanced degree from one of Australia's leading science faculties, and you'll find doors opening in government research bodies, in research departments of large companies, and other leading organisations. 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
