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. 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.
