UNSW offers science students the most advanced facilities combined with innovative teaching. The Advanced Science program has been designed to cater for the specific abilities and interests of talented students with a superior UAI score.

This program differs from the BSc with the inclusion of advanced level courses, an honours year, and options tailored to an individual's aptitude and interests. Students will develop a working knowledge in areas of scientific investigation to place them at the forefront of research and discovery. It is the program of choice for students with an interest in the sciences and who are looking to pursue careers that take advantage of new technologies and innovations.

What you will study
All students choose a study plan to specialise in their chosen area of interest. The fourth (honours) year is an integral part for the degree program and involves a research project which in some cases is combined with advanced coursework.

In special courses in years one and two, students work together in multi-disciplinary group projects aimed at acquiring and applying the critical and analytical skills behind scientific research. In second year and later years, a number of courses are offered at advanced level. Training is directed to developing the critical and integrative thinking needed for the successful completion of a research-based honours year.

Accelerated or tailored programs of study are available for especially-talented students. Please consult the UNSW Undergraduate Handbook for details.
