COURSE DESCRIPTION
This degree will provide you with the foundation research skills that will support your future career as a scientist or researcher.
Specifically, you will develop:
communication skills
critical thinking capability
advanced knowledge within your chosen discipline
knowledge of research practice and skills
research independence and capacity for self-directed learning.
Research experience is required for most academic and research positions, and increasingly for positions in other sectors.
In consultation with your discipline honours coordinator and your supervisor, you’ll be allocated a project to develop your skills to an advanced level.
Honours projects
These projects are developed for honours students and may be a preliminary exploration, a component of a bigger research project, or part of an existing or new collaboration. All projects draw from the wide range of disciplines taught across RMIT’s science programs. Many projects involve substantial cross-disciplinary work.
Discipline areas include:
biology
biotechnology
chemistry
computer science
environmental science
food technology
mathematics and statistics
physics.
Career
This pathway builds a solid foundation for a future career in scientific research.
Graduates of this honours degree frequently advance to a Master or PhD course and undertake further research in their particular area of interest.
Alternatively, honours graduates gain employment in industry and government as research assistants, advisors, and scientists in research centres like CSIRO, the Bureau of Meteorology, Defence Science, the Environment Protection Authority, major Hospitals and medical research institutes and ANSTO.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
Since its establishment in 1887, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (RMIT) has been meeting the needs of the community surrounding it. Originally a Working Men’s College, RMIT showed its flexibility during World War Two, training over 20,000 servicemen in communications to help with the war effort.Now, it is a true pioneer in international education, championing cross-border study opportunities with campuses in various countries. Granted formal university status in 1992, RMIT is ranked 21st in the world for universities that are less than 50 years old.RMIT is the largest higher education institution in Australia, currently with more than 82,000 students. With nearly 20% of those students coming from overseas, it is a university that truly welcomes diversity and is a melting pot of different cultures. RMIT has three campuses in Vietnam, a European hub in Barcelona, an office in Indonesia, and partners with 200+ institutions in 42 countries to provide study opportunities worldwide.
