Overview

Biotechnologists design innovative products and technologies. They work across new frontiers in health, agriculture, science and engineering. This collaborative, transdisciplinary program spans many scientific and engineering disciplines. Learn molecular genetics, bioinformatics, microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, cells and genes. Study physics, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and other essential subjects to develop core technical, laboratory and commercialisation skills relating to successfully delivering biotechnology products to global markets. Students build their expertise in one of five specialist areas: Agricultural Biotechnology, Chemical and Nano Biotechnology, Medical Biotechnology, Molecular and Microbial Biotechnology or Synthetic Biology and Industrial Biotechnology. Students may choose to undertake a Student Industry Placement or Internship to gain further practical experience in solving technical or operational problems. Complement specialist learning and enhance employability by studying a minor in either Bioinformatics or Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
