Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Molecular Bioscience)

The Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Molecular Science) differs from the Bachelor of Science (Molecular Science) in that it offers direct entry to an Honours year, subject to meeting the minimum academic performance requirements to progress. Students in the Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Molecular Science) follow the same program of study as those in the Bachelor of Science (Molecular Science) for the first three years. The skills obtained during Honours will be of great benefit whatever students choose to do after completion, whether it is progressing to a research higher degree, further study in another area or moving into employment.The Bachelor of Science (Molecular Science) enables you to gain a broad foundation in molecular bioscience together with extensive subject knowledge in specialised topics such as molecular biology, biochemistry and microbiology. The specialisation has applications in medicine, agriculture, forensic science, and the study of evolutionary relationships. In addition to developing a range of transferable research, analytical and communication skills, one of the primary outcomes of this degree is the development of the student’s molecular, biochemical and microbiological practical skill set through the significant hands-on experiments in the majority of the topics. Practicals enable you to master a diverse set of laboratory skills that can be applied to many of today’s most crucial scientific problems.
