This is an exit award only, for the following:
Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) (BH-ADVSCI).
This course offers students with an interest in studying science the opportunity to develop high level skills and attributes beyond discipline knowledge through a core of scientific professional practice, leadership and entrepreneurship. Students select from a range of discipline areas including Agricultural Science, Chemistry, Computing, Data Science, Earth Science, Environmental Biology and Ecology, Environmental Science, Financial Mathematics, Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Marine Science, Molecular Genetics, Physics and Space and Planetary Science. Students will have the flexibility to tailor their experiences through this core in a way that works for them and their personal interests and aspirations.
What you'll learn
- demonstrate an advanced knowledge of the nature of science, its methods and processes, and an advanced knowledge in one or more disciplinary area enabling the ability to contribute new knowledge to a field of study.
- critically analyse challenging and multi-faceted problems, address them by applying practical and theoretical tools and critically evaluate findings within the current body of disciplinary knowledge.
- access and make judgements on the value of available knowledge using a variety of tools, and incorporate them into the planning, conduct and communication of their own work.
- communicate approaches and solutions, ideas and findings to informed professional scientific and industry audiences.
- use established and emerging technologies in their chosen discipline and apply them within the context of their profession.
- engage in self-driven continuous discipline and professional education and training within their chosen discipline.
- participate in the generation and application of science in addressing global problems while recognising that scientific endeavours require understanding of and compliance with international ethical and professional standards.
- work collaboratively and respectfully with scientists from a range of cultural backgrounds and understand the cultural issues that impact their discipline or profession.
- be able to work as an independent scientist and collaboratively within teams either as a professional leader or collaborator using effective problem solving and decision making skills within the professional context of their area of study.
