Bachelor of Science (Advanced) (Honours)
If you are looking for that little bit extra in your degree, the Bachelor of Science (Advanced) (Honours) provides the same breadth of opportunities as the Bachelor of Science, with the addition of Honours Pathway Options that are designed to extend your understanding and introduce you to concepts that are more advanced than standard course activities. The fourth honours year allows exploration of research possibilities in your area of interest. It prepares you for professional life or a higher degree by research through the development of an advanced knowledge of the research principles and methods and theoretical concepts of your discipline, and through the design and implementation of a research project that develops new understandings or provides solutions to complex problems.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will be able to:
- Develop, apply, integrate and generate knowledge in educational and professional contexts
- Develop and use a range of skills and methods to identify, analyse and respond to complex problems and issues.
- Work and learn in both independent and collaborative ways with others to encompass diverse abilities and perspectives.
- Plan and engage in an independent and sustained critical investigation of a chosen research topic to generate new knowledge.
- Systematically evaluate relevant theory and concepts, relate these to appropriate methodologies and evidence and draw appropriate conclusions.
- Analyse and interpret original research data with statistical or other evaluative processes where appropriate.
- Demonstrate sufficient mastery to understand and apply relevant experimental techniques and methods to collect original research data.
- Communicate and justify complex concepts and results clearly and effectively to a variety of audiences.
- Exercise personal, professional and social responsibility as a global citizen.
