Bachelor of Advanced Science

The Bachelor of Advanced Science is designed specifically to develop student learning using an inquiry-oriented and research-immersion model. Students engage in a number of research project subjects based on their chosen major, which include pharmaceutical sciences; and pre-medicine. Students are placed with world-leading research scientists and learn 'on the job', actively mentored in research teams learning theory through real-time application and solving real-world problems. More than just a work placement, this course is a holistic learning experience designed to train the next generation of scientists and health professionals.

• Pre-Medicine major: This major is distinguished by its strong focus on practices and theory that underlie both medical research and the health professions. The aim is to optimally prepare graduates for health professional careers, including post-graduate medical degree.
• Pharmaceutical Sciences major: Students learn practises and concepts that are critical for pharmaceutical science progressions. This major is also designed to facilitate an entry pathway to the Master of Pharmacy (C04252).

UTS has English language proficiency requirements for all its courses for all students.

This degree can give students the foundational knowledge to work in one of the many different health-related professions such as pharmacy, physiotherapy, and other primary contact primary care professions or related professions including health policy writing, health and medical writing, sales and technical support of medical devices, and the pharmaceutical and therapeutic goods industry.

• Pharmaceutical Sciences: This prepares students for a range of careers in developing pharmaceuticals, drugs and cosmetics. Opportunities include potential employment in the pharmaceutical research, biotechnology, and health-related disciplines. It also prepares students for further studies in postgraduate pharmacy, medicine or other health related disciplines. This major has an entry pathway to the UTS Masters of Pharmacy (see note below for more information).
