UQ的高级科学学士学位（荣誉）是什么？
TheBachelor of Advanced Science (Honours)is designed for the student who is set on a career in science. This is a challenging degree with a heavy workload, but you will receive在学术研究方面的经验，并由世界一流的老师教授。
This degree differs from a usual Bachelor of Science at UQ by为高成就的学生提供追求核心专业化并获得广泛研究经验的机会。In fact, you’ll be working with experts in their fields from the moment you start your course!
Honours
荣誉是在课程的学习计划中建立的，因此您不必在整个学位上申请。这使学生可以在研究早期检查研究选择，并找到最适合自己兴趣的专业化。
The University of Queensland restructured this degree in 2021, giving you even more flexibility to speciality.
Career Paths
Oh, you want a career in science but you’re not certain of exactly what you’d like to do? We hear you, and you’re in the right place!
这个学位有很多选择, including:
-
- Biochemist
- Embryologist
- Bio diversity projects officer
- 勘探技术员
- Biomedical engineer
- Wildlife manager
- Mine geologist
- Quantitative researcher
- Materials scientist
- Academic research
- PhD study
由于该学位从第二年开始提供专业，因此有各种各样的职业领域。Many graduates explore the scientific research pathway, which this course places particular emphasis on.
Your specific career path will depend on what specialisation you take, which we will flesh out further below.
最终，学习高级科学学士学位（荣誉）将为您提供锻造高度专业职业的技能！
Core Units and Specialisations
什么是专业？
We’ve been bouncing this word around a lot, so you’re probably itching to know more!
Basically,a specialisation (like a really big, extended major) will make up the bulk of your degree。It’s a way to get very detailed understanding in a certain topic, often for research purposes.
The specialisations you can choose from are:
Woo, that was a lot. As you can see, a Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours)为您提供很多专门研究特定领域的范围。
So, what will you actually be studying?
Alright, let’s talk subjects — this course is a little different to most Science degrees, as它只有三个核心主题。The degree is broken into three categories:
-
- Your core subjects
- 26 units of general science subjects
- 32个单位的专业化
All studentscomplete a specialisation，这是您的研究计划的大部分。但是，你general science elective units can also be arranged into majors and minors，毕业后给您另一个知识领域。
重要的，this degree has subjects broken into ‘levels’ of study, from 1-3,rather than distinct years.
现在，这可能是一个相当令人困惑的过程，因为有很多选择！我们将以物理专业为例，但是您可以找到选择主题和专业知识的有益的细分这里。
The core subjects, completed by all Advanced Science students, are:
| Core Units | Description |
|---|---|
| Advanced Theory & Practice in Science | 将在该程度上出现的关键工具的深入介绍，包括数学，分析，概念和计算技能。 |
| Introduction to Scientific Research | 教育科学研究的广度,scientific process and critical thinking. Students work in groups to examine different research areas. |
| 分析科学数据或科学数据的高级分析 | 在这两个科目中，学生都学会分析数据和实验，设计实验和内容的伦理研究。高级课程还教授对随机性和概率分布的理解。 |
What is a Physics specialisation like?
For a Physics specialisation,students must complete 2 units of Level 1 Physics, 6 units of Level 2 Physics, and 8 units of Level 3 Physics.
The compulsory subjects for a Physics specialisation are as follows:
Prerequisite
You’ll be required to studyMechanics & Thermal Physics在开始这种专业之前。
Level 1
In电磁和现代物理, students learn about electricity, magnetism, optics and quantum physics through a series of experiments.
Level 2
These are yoursubject optionsfor this level of study:
-
- 热力学和冷凝物
- Quantum Mechanics 1 OR Advanced Quantum Mechanics 1
- Fields in Physics 1 OR Advanced Fields in Physics 1
Level 3
Your capstone for the course isPerspectives in Physics Research，这是所有物理学生的。它专注于on elements of scientific communication, ethics in research and research experience.
You’ll also be studying:
-
- 统计数学或高级统计数学
- Quantum Mechanics 11
- Fields in Physics 11 OR Advanced Fields in Physics 11
As you can see, a Physics specialisation, like any other, isgoing to give you an extremely detailed understanding of the subject area.
Research Opportunities
Though this degree doesn’t offer any specific placements required work experience,学生确实有很大的研究机会。
The夏季和冬季研究计划allow students to work in the lab of experts, researching and pioneering new areas of science.
Students cancomplete two winter and two summer programs throughout their degree, with summer research running across 6-10 weeks and winter across 4-5 weeks — and as a nice bonus, these are paid positions!
How to Get into a Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) at UQ
TheATAR cut offin order to be admitted into this degree is96.
Successful candidates for this degree must have completed aYear 12 General English subject（或同等学历），数学方法（或同等学历），andtwo of Agricultural Science, Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science, Specialist Mathematics or Physics.
但是，UQ为尚未符合选择标准的学生提供了一些途径选择。如果您错过了先决条件的主题，桥接课程在数学，生物学和化学方面可用。这些在11月至12月的四个星期中提供。
Entry Schemes
If your mark wasn’t quite what you hoped it would be,您也许还可以参加特殊的第三级招生测试（STAT）to determine if you are fit for the course you have chosen. Thismultiple choice test can be taken by any school leaver over 18, however the maximum selection rank adjustment is capped according to degree.

What’s the Teaching Format?
UQ degrees are delivered overtwo semesters each year.Students complete different subjects each semester.
In a Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours), there are roughly25 face to face hours a week.
Class Structure
“课程从第一年到第四年发生了很大的变化 - 它变得越来越专业。”- Germain Tobar, Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) IV at UQ
讲座
讲座run forthree hours a week per subject。在此期间，将学生介绍了他们的研究中的关键概念。
Theories, experiments and calculations are explainedand are often built up across the semester. Throughout first and second year, you can expect to be studying alongside60 to 70 students，同时较小并减少到周围35 students in third year.
Tutorials
然后，学生有一个weekly tutorial for each subject, which is a great opportunity to ask questions and delve into difficult concepts中提出的讲座。这通常是一个time for students to extend their specialist skill set.
Typically, there will be15至20名学生出席。

Subjects that have labsrun for three hours a week。Students take onpractical experiments and calculationswhich can support their research.
During these classes, students are often working with experts in their field and there are usually15至20名学生attending.
Honours
在第四年或荣誉年中，学生参加a couple of lectures a week but focus on an individual research project.
Assessments
This is an assessment-heavy degree.Each subject has four to five assignments across the semester,which means an assignment every two to three weeks.
Students also completetwo labs reports for each subject, based on the practical experiments they have undertaken。These reports detail results, methods and analysis.
Almost all subjects have afinal exam, which is worth 50-60% of the student’s grade。Some subjects even have amid-semester exam!
