Bachelor of Science (Advanced)
University of Adelaide - All Adelaide Campus
Overview
Our advanced degree challenges you to take your scientific training and research skills to the next level. You will:
- learn to drive scientific breakthroughs as you join a research-rich institution at the cutting edge of discovery
- dive straight into life as a researcher with early access to real-world research opportunities usually reserved for honours or postgraduate students
- link with academic mentors and staff in pioneering research areas, allowing you to establish networks before you graduate
- build a breadth of experience through lab placements and a semester-long research project
- work on further projects that can be developed for an honours year and postgraduate study (Masters or PhD)
You can also undertake a double major in: Chemistry (double); Experimental and Theoretical Physics; Palaeontology - Evolution; Palaeontology - Geology; or Ecology and Spatial Science.
Where could it take you? You'll graduate with enhanced research and project management skills for further study or leadership roles in your chosen specialisation. You could solve global ecology challenges or win the Nobel Prize as a quantum physicist. You might spearhead an entirely new career in space entrepreneurship, genomic editing, or stem cell engineering. Perhaps you'll communicate science as an educator, politician, or legislator. Whatever you choose, you'll be prepared to lead the world.
To remain in this highly competitive program, you must maintain a high Grade Point Average (GPA) throughout your candidature. Similarly, if you attain a predetermined GPA, you will automatically be eligible for a place in the Bachelor of Science (Hons) program upon completion of the Bachelor of Science (Advanced).
