Stimulating our talented: the Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) program

Abstract

Supporting, stimulating and broadening the opportunities for talented science students led The Australian National University to establish the Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours), PhB, degree program in 2003. The degree is designed to provide supported opportunities for elite level undergraduate students to undertake research in science or mathematics from the commencement of their undergraduate studies. This paper reviews the progress of this degree following the graduation of the initial cohort of students.
