Overview

This is a high-profile, Honours version of the Bachelor of Science for high-achieving students who intend to pursue careers as research scientists or for students want to be leaders in their discipline.

It offers the opportunity to deepen and strengthen your science studies, usually by taking two majors, accelerating progress to higher-level units, and providing additional flexibility in your choice of units. You will undertake more scientific research methodology, complete a research project and have the opportunity to participate in research within a Monash research team, with access to exclusive enrichment programs and research mentoring by leading scientists in your chosen field.

As an Honours qualification, it also provides direct access to higher degrees by research and enables you to complete an expert Masters course in a reduced timeframe.
