Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) (Honours) - Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

The University of Sydney

The honours year in science is a widely recognised and highly regarded additional year of undergraduate study available to you after you complete your undergraduate course. It's a unique opportunity for you to explore your research potential and put the theory from your undergraduate studies into practice. An honours qualification in mathematics is not only well regarded in academia, but also in industry where a command of scientific thought processes are highly sought after. Extend your knowledge of your undergraduate degree with a stand-alone Honours year in your subject area expertise. This course is available to students who have already completed their studies in this study area. Honours can be undertaken in any area of science, and involves designing a research program in your chosen area of interest in consultation with one or more supervisors. Your research program may include components in more than one area of science (eg. mathematics and biology) and depending on the nature of your project you may also have to undertake some courses in experimental design or complete technical training to use a particular piece of equipment.Studies in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology will further your understanding of the chemistry of life and the molecules that regulate living processes. This honours area emphasises projects that study how these molecules pass information and energy within and between cells, and from generation to generation, and how these processes impact form and function.
