Discover solutions to the world’s biggest challenges with the Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours). This advanced-level degree caters to talented students and innovative thinkers. It’ll prepare you for a career at the forefront of scientific discovery and innovation.

Choose from 26 majors within the physical, natural and human sciences. Explore different disciplines in your first year to find the specialisation that’s right for you. If you already know what you want to specialise in, you can tailor your degree from the start. In your fourth (Honours) year, you’ll complete a supervised research project on a topic of your choice, working alongside world-leading researchers.

Key features
Supervised research project
Your honours year is an integral part of the degree. It involves a supervised research project and, in some cases, advanced coursework. You’ll conduct original scientific investigations and analysis while developing your critical and integrative thinking.
Flexible  subject choices
We’ve designed this degree for innovative thinkers, offering flexibility to tailor the degree to your interests. With 26 majors to choose from, you can opt to study a single major or combine multiple interests with a double major. This degree also allows you to declare or change your major in stage two of study, meaning you can explore several different disciplines before deciding on the path that’s right for you.
Work Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunities
At UNSW Science, we focus on delivering the optimal balance of theory and practical work to equip you with the skills and experience to fast-track your career. The SCIF3199 Science Work Placement course gives you the opportunity to gain practical work experience through an internship.
