The Bachelor of Computational Science (Honours) is an elite four-year, research-focused program for exceptional students who want to pursue

• a career based in the computational modelling of the real world
• a research orientated career in government, commerce and industry
• or postgraduate research leading to a higher degree.

The degree program is built on a core of advanced mathematics and computer science courses linked with a specialist area of science. These core courses provide the training in the formulation, analysis, modelling and simulation of problems in science, engineering, commerce and industry. Typical areas of specialisation are physics, chemistry, biology, geology, geography, environmental sciences, applied mathematics, astrophysics, economics, and finance and computer science. In this way the general mathematical and computing skills obtained from the core courses can be applied in a sophisticated manner in a specialisation area.

Students will take two extension activities which aim to introduce students to the application of computational science to scientific and industrial problems. In addition students in this program will have the opportunity to use a range of advanced computing systems, including the fastest computer in Australia, which is part of the APAC National Facility.
