The University of Queensland
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00025B
The Bachelor of Science (Honours) program provides an opportunity to pursue an independent research project in your area of interest as an additional year of study, essentially giving you a research apprenticeship. During your honours year, you will work under the guidance of a researcher on a specific project of interest to them. You will learn about the research environment, how to perform critical experiments and analyze data, and how to communicate and present your results. As a UQ Science Honours graduate, you will have the skills that enable you to work without close supervision in a research environment in industry or government or to proceed to a research higher degree.
