Science
Course information
An Honours course in science will take your undergraduate qualification to the next level. You will be able to focus on your own area of specialisation and start directing your own learning by putting the skills you have learnt to use.
The wide range of active research laboratories within La Trobe’s science Departments are led by expert researchers who will mentor you through your Honours year. You will have the chance to undertake real-life research as a member of a world-class research group.
Career opportunities
As well as established research skills, prospective employees look for other abilities that an Honours qualification provides, such as critical evaluation, time management, and written and oral presentation skills. With Honours, you will have the chance to further extend your career in research, or apply your knowledge to broader areas in a wide range of industries.
