澳大利亞國立大學(xué)

Satisfy your brilliance and curiosity with an undergraduate research-focused degree.

The Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) or PhB is a unique program that allows intellectually ambitious students to explore their interests, develop research skills and have one-on-one mentoring by leading academics… all while enjoying the camaraderie of a group of like-minded and social students.

The four year PhB program is designed with flexibility in mind - each PhB program is as individual as you are. Each year, you will work with your mentor to tailor a program you will find stimulating and challenging. This includes the option to explore disciplines outside of science.

Employment Opportunities

The PhB (Hons) is an ideal path to take if you are already aiming for a career in research, but it is equally good if you decide to enter the workforce directly, as you will not only have gained the academic and generic skills normally obtained within an undergraduate degree but will have gained highly marketable skills in independent research, oral and written communication and teamwork.

Through the PhB (Hons), it is possible to specialize in areas as diverse as the science disciplines of astrophysics, bioinformatics, biomedical science, biotechnology, botany, chemistry, computer science, earth and environmental science, geography, geology, human sciences, life sciences, materials science, mathematical physics, mathematics, medical sciences, microbiology and parasitology, molecular biology, neuroscience, physics, psychology, software engineering, zoology.
