Advanced Science
Degrees for clever science students
The Advanced Science program at the University of Wollongong is designed for students who excel in science. This program offers many advantages over conventional degree programs including:
Flexibility - individually tailored programs
Develop your own study program to meet your own interests and requirements. The flexible structure of the Bachelor of Science facilitates changes of direction as late as the beginning of third year with no loss of credit or time. Many basic science subjects are common to all programs allowing you time for a final decision.
Join a research team
Work with some of Australia's leading researchers - special research projects are available from second year. Advanced Science students are currently working with staff researchers on such projects as:
- Designing new antibiotics and cancer treatments
- Development of new materials for chemical and biological sensors
