Why QUT
Hands-on learning
Gain skills and confidence for your career with a curriculum that prioritises hands-on learning and real industry projects.
Build your network
Connect with motivated professionals and learn from award-winning lecturers who are experts in their field.
Industry experience
Gain experience with leading organisations through our work-integrated learning program.
Diversify your options
'The structure of the course sets you up for both research and further study. Having multiple research units means you can try out different areas while building practical skills at the same time, which really boosts your confidence and research capability. By the end of the degree, my cohort will have completed several research projects as undergrads, which makes us much more competitive and prepared for Honours or industry roles.'
Bachelor of Science Advanced (Honours) (Physics)
Shape the future
'Studying biological sciences has opened doors I never imagined. I'm currently leading research in plant tissue culture to grow and test plants that could one day survive the extreme conditions of space and thrive on the moon. It genuinely feels like I'm contributing to something that could shape the future of science and sustainability.'
Biological Sciences and Honours graduate
Pursuing a career in biological research
I chose to study at QUT because it provides more practical approaches to study, offers insight into future careers, and prepares me for the real world. It’s also a great university for biological science research, with plenty of learning opportunities and the use of advanced technology. As part of my course, I’ve made leaves glow and sniffed bones! It sounds arbitrary but it’s definitely an educational and insightful experience – and not to mention great fun!
Shooting for the stars
'I chose to study a STEM degree, specifically science, because I have a passion for physics. It is my lifelong dream to contribute to the world of physics, mainly in astrophysics or atomic physics. The Bachelor of Science Advanced (Honours) allows me to gain the experience to pursue greater goals in the field of physics in the future. Being able to access the physics lab and complete practical lessons has not only helped me gain hands-on experience but it’s also fun and reinforces my enthusiasm and love for my field.'
Bachelor of Science Advanced (Honours) (Physics)
Think advanced science. Think QUT.
Study alongside a small cohort of high-achieving fellow science enthusiasts for four years. You'll be immersed in real-world research from your first year in authentic research environments, with leading QUT researchers and projects.
