Undergraduate
Bachelor of Science Advanced - Global Challenges (Honours)
Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
Monash's Bachelor of Science Advanced (Global Challenges) (Honours) includes everything in the standard Bachelor of Science plus formal leadership training, persuasive communication skills, and hands-on practice turning an idea into a business or social enterprise. The course centres on an in-depth exploration of major global issues, pushing students to think seriously about effective leadership and how to actually implement change rather than just study problems academically. In the final year, students partner with an external organisation to tackle a real-world problem, and the course includes a domestic or international internship giving genuine workplace experience. It suits ambitious science students who want more than a traditional science honours degree, since graduates leave equipped for both conventional science careers and roles at top management consultancies and organisations looking for leaders who can apply scientific thinking to complex global challenges, with mentoring from science faculty alumni built into the course throughout.
