The Bachelor of Science (Honours) is a fourth-year program for graduates of all Science, Information Technology and Mathematical Science undergraduate degrees. The program serves as a prelude to a higher degree in research or advanced professional practice in careers that entail complex research work.The honours program consists of the core research project, as well as course work studies in research methodologies, communication, and the preparation of a literature review. A significant proportion (over one half) of the work in this program is the research project, which culminates in the submission of an Honours thesis. The aim of this course is to develop skills and experience in the type of work involved in postgraduate research studies.The range of study areas in which we offer supervision include computing at a professional level for students with sufficient background in computing or information technology, and research based studies in all science disciplines, including Biomedical Science, Biotechnology, Environmental and Conservation Science, Food and Nutrition, Geoscience, Mathematical Sciences and Veterinary and Wildlife Science.The research project allows you to pursue your area of interest in some depth whilst practising the investigative skills that are important in research. In particular, you will develop skills in finding the latest work published about your area of interest, and in assimilating and analysing this information. Course work also focusses on the preparation of a detailed research plan, designing and carrying out experimental research and writing up the results of your research. You will also learn how to communicate these findings to other people by giving seminars on your work and assembling your work in the form of a thesis.

A degree in mathematics provides unique training in abstract reasoning highly sought after by a wide range of employers. This degree will provide you with a strong foundation in the basic principles and techniques of mathematics and an understanding of how mathematics is applied in the real world. You will also develop communication and report writing skills to enhance your employability.Graduates may choose to undertake a Master of Teaching (Secondary) and become a VCE mathematics teacher.

This degree offers a regional perspective relevant to local wildlife and animal health, and will also highlight key issues of international relevance by exploring suitable examples and case studies. Laboratory-based learning is supported by fieldwork at sites such as farming and breeding enterprises, animal health practices and natural habitats with wildlife populations.You will study a wide range of topics including anatomy, animal health, biochemistry, cellular metabolism, immunology, microbiology, physiology and zoology.In the final year, there is an opportunity for a research project or industry placement to explore your own area of interest and develop advanced technical skills.

As a graduate, you can work in many areas including production of vaccines, antibiotics and drugs, creating alternative fuels, quality control, and even producing the latest flavours and sweeteners for the food industry.During your studies, you’ll learn how to use innovative and sustainable technologies for the benefit of your community, wider Australia and overseas.This laboratory-based degree has a core of basic science studies including principles of modern instrumentation, experimental design and data analysis, biochemical and microbiological techniques and recombinant DNA technology. You can also explore in depth your favourite area through a research project in your final year as well as your choice of electives.This degree includes compulsory online courses.

If you want to share your passion for being active, sport and the outdoors then the Bachelor of Sport, Physical and Outdoor Education course is for you.During this degree, you'll learn leadership, teaching and people skills and put these into practice in a variety of settings.Your subjects are a blend of hands-on and theoretical work, and include outdoor leadership, fundamental movement, exercise physiology and fitness, swimming and water safety, biomechanics, outdoor living and travel skills and human development and nutrition.This degree provides a strong foundation for a rewarding career in the sport and recreation and outdoor education industries.Alternatively, this course is a pathway to become a Health and Physical Education and/or Outdoor Education Teacher.
