COURSE VIDEO Bachelor of Science (Advanced) at the University of Sydney 01:34 The Bachelor of Science (Advanced) offers exceptional opportunities to budding scientists hungry for a challenge, while still providing the signature flexibility of the regular Bachelor of Science. From independent research to in-depth problems to lectures that go beyond the norm, the Advanced program will give you the skills to embark on postgraduate study, work at the forefront of research, or give you a competitive edge in the corporate environment.
The advanced units you undertake are challenging and can be demanding, but the results are extremely rewarding. Studying at an advanced level might mean doing independent research, solving in-depth problems, or attending lectures that go beyond the norm. By the end, you’ll have the right skills to launch into postgraduate study or to work at the forefront of research anywhere in the world.
As an Advanced Science student, you will take between two to four subjects at the advanced level each year. When you finish the three-year course, you will graduate with at least one advanced major. But if you plan your study well—and you want a real challenge—you can fit in another major studied at either the normal or advanced level.
As with the Bachelor of Science, you have 30 majors to choose from, some of which can be studied at the advanced level. See list below for advanced majors and visit the Bachelor of Science course entry for a complete list of science majors.
While catering for the very best, the Advanced program is inclusive. Anybody interested in studying these units is able to, provided you meet the academic criteria.
