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 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, finance and computer science.  The general mathematical and computing skills obtained from  the core courses are 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 A dedicated high performance cluster for student use, and access to the NCI National Facility computers.

Admission Requirements

Admission to all programs is on a competitive basis, taking into account all relevant academic qualifications. If you hold more than one qualification, admission will be based on your overall record. Tertiary qualifications are generally weighted more heavily than secondary. If you have completed an approved tertiary preparation course or alternative entry scheme, you will be assessed on the results of that scheme alone, unless you have undertaken subsequent study.

The table below is a guide to the entry level required for domestic applicants. Exact entry level will be set at time of offer.

Entry Requirement	Entry Level
ATAR	98
QLD Band	2
International Baccalaureate	39

From 2010, the UAI/ENTER/TER will be referred to as ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) for admission in 2010. See http://www.uac.edu.au/undergraduate/atar/ for further information.

Queensland Band equivalents are a guide only - selection is made on a UAI equivalent that is not available to students.

The entry requirements above are for domestic applicants only.
