Honours is a very exciting year in the College of Science. For many, it is the pathway to a PhD at the ANU and for some the pathway to a PhD at other world leading universities. Furthermore, for many areas, an honours year is required for the practice of many science disciplines professionally. An undergraduate Science degree at ANU will get you many interesting jobs, and there are a greater variety of technically demanding and fascinating employment opportunities available after honours.

Honours in Science involves a research project worth at least fifty percent of the final grade. Students move from studying specified courses to being part of teams generating breakthroughs in science. For many students, the honours year is the most important step towards a lifelong fascination with discovery and research.

Science at ANU is well respected internationally and honours students study with internationally renowned scientists right across the campus. In many science areas, ANU ranks among the top 100 universities in the world (measured by references to our research by other scientists).
