Course overview

Biotechnologists design innovative products and technologies and drive new advances in health, agriculture, science, and engineering. Students study key areas such as molecular genetics, bioinformatics, microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, cell and gene science, physics, chemistry, engineering, and mathematics. They develop essential technical, laboratory, and commercialisation skills. Students also build expertise in one of five specialist areas: Agricultural Biotechnology, Chemical and Nano Biotechnology, Medical Biotechnology, Molecular and Microbial Technology, 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.
