The Bachelor of Advanced Science is no ordinary science degree. Designed for high achievers, it equips students with expertise in one of three disciplines at the forefront of contemporary scientific endeavour. Whether they’re working towards careers in medicine, or they want to learn at the cutting edge of pharmaceutical or quantum sciences, students emerge ready to respond to the complex challenges that are shaping their future profession.
Taking a transdisciplinary approach, the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation utilises multiple perspectives from diverse fields, integrating a range of industry experiences, real-world projects and self-initiated proposals, equipping graduates to address the wicked problems, complex challenges and untapped opportunities in today's world. The flexibility of this course allows students to either specialise in a specific professional area or develop skills and knowledge in a range of scientific disciplines. All majors aim to produce professional scientists with a thorough grounding in theory, and highly adaptable and practical scientific, experimental and computational skills relevant to the discipline chosen.
Careers
Pre-medicine: Graduates emerge ready to kickstart a wide range of health and health-aligned careers in communication, policy, medical device sales and technical support, and in the pharmaceutical and therapeutic goods industry. They can also pursue postgraduate study in pharmacy and other primary care professions.
Pharmaceutical Sciences: The name of this major says it all: graduates emerge ready to pursue a wealth of career options in the booming pharmaceutical sector. They can develop or formulate pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and other products; become pharmaceutical researchers or biotechnologists; work in sales or marketing of pharmaceutical products; or apply their expertise to a range of regulatory, quality assurance or quality control roles. This degree is also an entry pathway to the UTS Master of Pharmacy.
Quantum Technology: This rapidly growing field is producing a suite of new roles at quantum technology companies and start-ups. Graduates are in high demand as quantum algorithm developers, coders, cryptographers, information engineers, cybersecurity or software developers, experimental research scientists, machine learning specialists, nanofabrication or semiconductor scientistsengineers, opto-mechanical researchers or ultra-cold atom scientists.
