With this degree, you will be equipped with specialised skills and practical knowledge for a career in the biological, clinical, chemical, computing, physical, mathematical, and environmental sciences. After studying core science courses in your first year, you will have the freedom to choose a major that suits your interests and career plans from your second year onwards. You can undertake laboratory work in state-of-the-art facilities or fieldwork, depending on the major you choose. In your final year, you can participate in industry internships to gain employment-relevant experience. You will have access to experts from renowned research centres such as the Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery (GRIDD), the Centre for Quantum Dynamics, Queensland Micro and Nanotechnology Centre, the Institute for Glycomics, the Australian Rivers Institute and the Environmental Futures Research Institute. As an international student, you will receive dedicated support from your arrival in Australia through to your departure after graduation. You will be introduced to Griffith through an orientation program, and receive ongoing social, personal and academic support throughout your degree. Majors (from 2017) You can choose from the following majors: Applied Mathematics Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Chemistry Geography Marine Biology Physics Wildlife Biology Honours At the end of your third year, providing you are eligible, you will have the option of entering the honours program, a fourth year of study. During the honours program, you will undertake additional courses and a major research project under the supervision of a member of the academic staff. My career opportunities A Griffith science degree will equips graduates you with the experimental, theoretical, computational and communication skills necessary for working as a scientist in a range of fields. Depending on your major, you will be prepared for work in environment-related jobs, for example as an environment consultant, environmental scientist or mine environment officer; in biological, chemical and clinical sciences as a microbiologist, pharmaceutical scientist, biochemist, chemist or biotechnologist; in physics and maths as a mathematician or physicist; or, with further study, in a broader role, for example as a patents officer or science teacher. You may also choose to undertake a fourth-year research honours degree that can lead to a PhD and a career in research.
