<p>This degree provides training in the rapidly expanding area of computational science, which leads to a broad range of exciting and challenging careers. Increasingly, mathematical models and computational techniques are taking advantage of powerful computers to simulate real world problems as well as solve problems on the cutting edge of scientific research. For example, in the automotive industry, computational techniques are used in every part of the development process, from the design of a new car body through to crash testing. In medicine, MRI scans using computer aided tomography are now commonplace.</p><p>In the financial world, computerised trading relies on mathematical models of the stock market. The mining industry is dependent on computational modelling to find new mineral resources, the new discipline of Data Mining deals with the enormous amounts of electronic information collected by businesses, governments, and researchers, and uses computational analysis to discover knowledge from these information collections.</p>

<p><strong>Honours Year:</strong></p><ul><li>No student is guaranteed entry to a particular Honours program or supervisor at the beginning of the degree, rather entry to particular Honours programs will be guaranteed with successful completion of a major at the standard required for continuation in the program.</li><li>The criterion for continuation in the program normally will be an average mark of 75 per cent each semester in Science courses.</li><li>Students in the direct entry BComptlSci(Honours) degree who do not get the 75 per cent average mark each semester shall be transferred to the standard BSc degree, but will be allowed to compete for places in Honours at the end of third year with other students. </li></ul>

<p>The Bachelor of Computational Science (Honours) is an elite four-year, research-focused program for exceptional students who want to pursue </p><ul><li>a career based in the computational modelling of the real world</li><li>a research orientated career in government, commerce and industry</li><li>or postgraduate research leading to a higher degree. </li></ul><p>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. </p><p>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.</p><p>Further information about the BComptlSci degree can be found at <a href="http://bcomptlsci.anu.edu.au/">http://bcomptlsci.anu.edu.au</a>.</p>
