明天的世界需要科学家，他们不仅在所选择的学科方面非常熟练和知识渊博，而且能够将其知识应用于具有全球意义的现实世界中。高级科学学士学位（荣誉学位）专为希望与志同道合的个人一起学习并将他们对科学的热情变成有成就的职业的高成就ATAR学生而设计。从第一年开始，您将进行与工作相关的学习机会，并在毕业之前为您提供实践经验和技能-一种受到雇主高度评价的素质。<br> <br>分子遗传学有助于解决全球性问题，例如预防和控制人类，动植物疾病，生物安全，环境退化的逆转并养活世界人口。DNA芯片可以检测成千上万个基因的表达，
This is a Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) course, designed for high-performing students to pursue their interest in science through a core of research, leadership and entrepreneurship.<br><br>Genetics is a rapidly growing science discipline and now underpins diverse jobs related to biology. Around the world, governments are investing heavily in genetics research to help improve the food supply, for example, which is increasingly reliant on genetically modifying the production of plants and animals.<br><br>Trace amounts of DNA in the environment (eDNA) are being used to provide more complete estimates of biodiversity in terrestrial and marine environments. Ancient DNA is being extracted from fossils to understand the evolution of life and the impacts of ancient climate and ecosystem change. DNA chips can detect the expression of thousands of genes enabling rapid diagnosis of many diseases in a single test. Before long, individuals will have access to their own DNA sequence and learn their propensity to develop particular diseases.<br><br>The deep knowledge of genetic processes and bioinformatics you will gain in this course will provide opportunities for careers and research related to human, animal and plant health, environmental health and food security.<br><br>The course offers a flexible and personalised approach to studying genetics. Youll be able to explore this field through for-credit immersive research experiences, industry placement and/or interdisciplinary team-based projects. Youll also gain practical experience programming in both R and Python and through exposure to data science professionals.
