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. If you're interested in using computers to construct and apply mathematical models, simulation, numerical methods and data-analysis techniques to solve scientific problems, then this is the major for you. Computational science ranges from understanding the interactions of sub-atomic particles through to our knowledge of the processes that shape stars and galaxies; from the molecular basis of life, through to the processes that govern outbreaks of epidemics, the sustainability of ecosystems and the dynamics of the biosphere. No area of cutting-edge science today is conducted without the assistance of computational science techniques. Start of expanded content Computational science at Monash will take you through the theoretical and practical fundamentals of Computer Science and algorithmic problem-solving, to advanced programming techniques, 3D computer graphics and intelligent systems. Training in computational science will enhance your job prospects and career potential in biological, physical, mathematical and biomedical sciences, and in the sciences related to the earth, atmosphere and environment. Studies in this area could even see you moving into new discipline areas such as humanities and creative arts, where computational techniques are becoming increasingly relevant in fields such as social science, archaeology, architecture, music and visual art.
