An Honours year is a prestigious extension of undergraduate study that allows you to deepen your expertise after completing your bachelor's degree. This program offers a chance to apply theoretical knowledge through research, with qualifications valued both in academic circles and professional industries seeking specialized skills. Enhance your undergraduate specialization with a dedicated Honours year, open to graduates in relevant fields. You can pursue Honours in diverse disciplines including anatomy, biochemistry, biology (genetics), cell pathology, histology and embryology, immunology, infectious diseases, microbiology, pharmacology, or physiology, based on available projects and your interests. The program is also accessible at the Westmead campus. The Faculty of Science is renowned for its postgraduate research excellence, supported by substantial funding and state-of-the-art facilities to deliver top-tier education and training. Various research programs cater to different academic stages, whether doctoral or master's level, where you'll conduct independent, supervised research culminating in an original thesis. The Science Honours year serves as a stepping stone to advanced research degrees like the PhD or MSc, attracting numerous domestic and international candidates annually.
Eligible students can pursue an Honours program in applied mathematics through the School of Mathematics and Statistics.
