The Bachelor of Science Advanced Honours (Biomolecular Physics) degree is for high-achieving students interested in a challenging program leading to a career in scientific research. The UOW Honours website provides lots of useful information regarding research opportunities, scholarships, and application procedures. This degree: Biomolecular Physicists are integrated across a wide range of employment fields, including commercial bio-medicine, instrumentation and biotech companies (e.g. Sigma, and Life Technologies), molecular diagnostic instrumentation developments for government and institutional research laboratories, as well as beam-line scientists at National Research Facilities (e.g. ANSTO and the Australian Synchrotron). Biomolecular Physicists work closely with other scientists with an aim to develop a better understanding of diseases and improve treatment and recovery in a range of medical conditions, and produce healthier, safer and more sustainable food, such as developing new methods and technology to assist with better food processing. The degree will excite and challenge students with an aptitude for physics and mathematics and an interest in biology and chemistry. What you will study: The Bachelor of Science Advanced Honours (Biomolecular Physics) offers a greater degree of flexibility in program design providing an opportunity to undertake individual research subjects at 2nd, 3rd and 4th-year levels. You are also able to participate in various enrichment activities and develop a close association with an appropriate member of one of the Faculty’s research teams.
