Undergraduate
Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours)
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) suits innovative thinkers with exceptional scientific ability who want genuine flexibility to tailor their degree around their own interests, studying foundation courses across biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics before choosing a major to explore in depth. The embedded fourth-year honours component involves a supervised research project and, in some cases, advanced coursework, giving students genuine research experience before they graduate rather than saving it for postgraduate study. Outstanding honours students can continue directly into a higher research degree, making this a real pathway into an academic or research career for talented science students. It suits high-achieving science students who want more flexibility, advanced-level content and built-in research training than the standard Bachelor of Science provides.
