The Bachelor of Science Advanced Honours (Atmospheric Science) 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: Processes in atmospheric science rely heavily on the analysis of data produced by satellite-borne and other types of instruments designed by physicists. With the growing field of climate science and increasing demand for tools and instruments to predict and monitor the environment, atmospheric scientists contribute toward innovations in design and prototyping of instruments. In this course you will learn to interpret data through an understanding of the physical principles behind the operation of the instruments, as well as the physics and chemistry governing atmospheric processes at spatial scales, from the microscopic to the planetary. This degree will suit students who possess both an aptitude for physics and mathematics alongside a broad interest in science. What you will study: The Bachelor of Science Advanced Honours (Atmospheric Science) 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.
