Bachelor of Science Advanced (Honours) (Earth Science)

Queensland University of Technology

QUT’s new Bachelor of Science (Advanced) will give you the passport to an international research career with an internationally recognised qualification. This course is designed for those who have a passion for scientific inquiry and seek to pursue a career in scientific research. You’ll have successfully completed Year 12 Mathematical Methods and a Science subject. By meeting these prerequisites, you’ll be able to bypass general science units to get straight into your area of passion - in this case, earth science.This course blends the traditional fields of geology, physical geography and oceanography/hydrology. You will explore current research issues with theory and industry-related, hands-on field, laboratory and modelling work to identify possible solutions. This course is exclusively offered to a small cohort of high-achieving, driven students. This means you’ll receive dedicated support and opportunities, within that community of practice. You’ll study alongside other like-minded students, with leading QUT researchers in the labs and facilities and immerse yourself in real-world research from your first year – with authentic research environments and projects. You’ll engage with the science research community and participate in QUT’s Science Research Symposium from your first year of studies – where scientific work is presented, critiqued and questioned.You will have the opportunity to extend your studies in Earth science through participation in extracurricular activities (for example, Vacation Research Experience Scheme (VRES), industry placements and research assistant positions, within which you can continue your research career beyond undergraduate study.
