The Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Honours) program provides students with the opportunity to pursue an independent research project in the biomedical sciences in an area of interest under the supervision of an academic staff member. Students will develop outstanding quantitative, problem-solving and research skills which will enable them to proceed to a research higher degree or to work without close supervision in a research environment in the public and private sectors.

This program will comprise an honours year tailored to Veterinary Technology graduates, and follows the introduction of the Bachelor of Veterinary Technology from 2016. It provides advanced training in clinical, regulatory, diagnostic or other para-professional streams applicable to veterinary technologists, as well as training in research. The advanced clinical training will involve working in either the University's Veterinary Teaching Hospital or an approved, external placement. Students will undertake advanced professional training under the guidance of a supervisor, graduating with advanced skills and knowledge and enhanced employment opportunities.

The Bachelor of Mathematics (Honours) program is designed to further cultivate mathematical and communication skills that students have developed throughout their undergraduate studies. The research project will ensure that students investigate one particular topic to a deep and thorough level of scholarship, with a requirement of producing written and oral outputs of the highest quality. The students will also broaden their mathematical skills by undertaking advanced coursework. This expectation that students devote themselves to a single, in-depth research project over the course of the year, while concurrently undertaking a broad range of advanced courses, will ensure that UQ produces outstanding graduates at the core of the next generation of mathematicians.

The Bachelor of Wildlife Science (Honours) provides students with the opportunity to pursue an independent research project within the Wildlife Science field under the supervision of a wildlife-focussed academic staff member. In addition, students will acquire skills in research methodologies, research communication and entrepreneurship which will enable them to continue into a research higher degree or move into a diverse range of employment.

The Bachelor of Equine Science (Honours) provides students with the opportunity to pursue an independent research project within the Equine Science field under the supervision of an equine-focussed academic staff member. In addition, students will acquire skills in research methodologies, research communication and entrepreneurship which will enable them to continue into a research higher degree or move into a diverse range of employment within the equine industry.

This dual four-year program allows you to combine the versatility and breadth of a science degree, with the in-depth knowledge of a biomedical science degree. This innovative program has been designed to provide you with advanced biomedical science knowledge and key practical skills in science required to address today's global challenges. In the science component of the dual, you will choose from an extensive range of 25 specialised majors. In the biomedical science component of the program, you will study the human body at the molecular, cellular and whole body levels, and the disciplines of biochemistry and cell biology, physiology, developmental biology, microbiology, pharmacology and neuroscience. This program has been revised from 2021. Students who commenced in the program from 2021 should refer to the: Bachelor of Biomedical Science / Science — 2477. If you are interested in further information about the revised program structure, please contact the Faculty of Science Student Enquiries Office.

Biomedical scientists provide the foundation of modern healthcare and assist in developing treatments for diseases. From cancer screening, diagnosis of HIV, design of new drugs, food poisoning and infection control, biomedical scientists are helping to make incredible advances in modern medical science. Working in partnership with doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, they carry out clinical tests, evaluate the effectiveness of treatment, and research the causes and cures for disease. By understanding how the human body works and what goes wrong in disease, biomedical scientists apply their knowledge to develop new treatments. This program will provide you with both the breadth and the depth of modern biomedical science. Learn from our researchers who are leaders in this area and benefit from their latest knowledge of biomedical science developments. By integrating your study across the various different discipline areas in the biomedical sciences, you will graduate with a well-grounded and wide range of knowledge in biomedical science and enter a rewarding career in modern biomedical science. You can also use this program as a pathway to study medicine or allied health programs.

The Bachelor of Advanced Humanities (Honours) is a rigorous and challenging program for high-achieving students with a keen interest in the humanities. You will engage with the Faculty's leading humanities researchers from your first year of study through a suite of core interdisciplinary courses taken in each year. These courses will expose you to contemporary thinking in the humanities, provide a forum for interdisciplinary discussion and emphasize connections across humanities disciplines. The program includes an industry internship, and you will complete Honours by the end of the fourth year. The program also provides tailored extracurricular activities including a camp at the beginning of your studies and a conference mid-way through the final year. A Study Abroad option is also available in the second year. Students applying to change program and/or applying for credit on the basis of previous studies should seek advice from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Please note that due to the staged introduction of courses, it may take longer than anticipated for students with credit to complete program requirements.

The Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Honours) degree will prepare you for an exciting career as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (including Accredited Exercise Scientist). You will learn in state-of-the-art exercise science and physiology facilities including specialised biomechanics, motor control, exercise physiology, and strength and conditioning laboratories. Accredited Exercise Physiologists are recognised allied health professionals who design and deliver exercise interventions for the prevention and management of a range of musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, metabolic, neurologic, cancer and mental health conditions. They can also provide advanced health and physical activity education, advice and support to promote a healthy and active lifestyle. Medicare and many private health insurers recognise and cover services supplied by accredited exercise physiologists.

This 4 year program offers an integrated, cross-disciplinary perspective that combines broad and rigorous training in the foundations of politics, philosophy and economics. Students will study insights from all three disciplines and will explore current and future global challenges. This program will equip graduates with versatile skills to address complex and challenging issues drawing on an historical, social, political and economic knowledge base. From year 2, students may choose to specialise in one discipline, earning a major in politics, philosophy or economics. Students who choose not to take a major will instead choose elective courses from all three disciplines. All students must choose to take either the 6 unit thesis course (PPES4202) or the 2 unit team project course (PPES4201). Note - entry to PPES4202 is restricted to students who have a GPA of 6.25 over their first 24 units of study in the program. Further, students are responsible for finding their own thesis supervisor. All students will graduate with Honours regardless of the pathway they choose to take.
