Generation Change the World
Have you got what it takes to change the world? The Monash Science Advanced – Global Challenges (Honours) is the first degree of its kind in Australia that pushes the boundaries of science, and uses science to solve the world’s biggest challenges: climate change, conflict, obesity and an ageing population.
This undergraduate course is for high-achieving science students who have the drive and passion to use science to influence business, government, the not-for-profit sector and the wider community. To create real change, we need more than just brilliant scientific minds. We need leaders, deep thinkers, adventurers, inspirers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and game-changers.
We need a new generation of science graduates equipped with a broad set of skills and experiences that push the boundaries of what is possible.
Our global graduates will be equipped to look at the world in the only way an entrepreneurial scientist can - one that looks at solutions to some of the biggest challenges of our time.
For Students
How we Teach
We encourage you to think differently. We use a hands-on and experiential approach to teaching. During the course student's will learn to think and act like global change makers. We teach mindfulness, improvisation and creative techniques for ideation. Our students learn through many real-world and industry connected situations such as hackathons, industry-based challenges, pitch nights, starting their own enterprises and mentorship. Through the course our students gain broadly applicable skills by running seminars, dialogues with business leaders, working with leading scientific researchers and undertaking internships.
