This course prepares high-achieving, highly motivated students to be future science leaders and researchers. First-year core subjects emphasise quantitative and computational skills while third-year students undertake a research internship to explore an outstanding problem in their chosen fields. Leading science professionals deliver seminars designed to develop students’ capacity to engage with the multidisciplinary challenges of the modern world. Students participate in fieldwork and practical activities to better understand the biological, physical, chemical, and geological processes that structure natural environments. The Physics major of this course is accredited by the Australian Institute of Physics (AIP). The Chemistry major of this course is accredited with the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI).
