The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology’s honours degree in the School of Health and Biomedical Sciences has been designed to equip students with a transferable skill-set relevant for a future career in academic and applied research, diagnostic services, industry, medical marketing, scientific communication and many other STEM-related careers. It is a unique supervisor-guided independent research project with complimentary workshops in research methods and scientific communication appropriate to their chosen research discipline
Specifically, the benefits of an honours degree are:
- Learn advanced problem-solving sills
- Develop science communication skills in parallel with critical and independent thinking
- Develop an aptitude for independent research and research techniques
- Gain advanced knowledge in scientific discipline.
The transferable skills and independent research experience gained as part of this honours degree are unique from those learnt during undergraduate studies. These skills and experiences are required for future higher degree by research study, and are expected in most academic and research positions. Many non-academic employers also recognise these skills as highly desirable in prospective employees. In consultation with the program coordinator and potential supervisor, students will be allocated a project that aims to complement their skills and areas of interest.
