Bachelor of Biological Science and Master of Biotechnology

Students completing this double packaged award course will graduate with both a Bachelor of Biological Science majoring in Plant Biology, and a Master of Biotechnology. In the Bachelor of Biological Science students will gain an appreciation of how living organisms, ranging from microbes to megaflora and megafauna, grow, reproduce, adapt and evolve. Students will learn how species and ecological communities can be managed, conserved and restored, using techniques ranging from genetic analysis to data collection from whole populations and ecosystems, to big data synthesis science. In the Masters component of the course students specialise in, Genetics and Genomics, Synthetic Biology, Environmental and Agricultural Biotechnology or AQUAtech in combination with gaining skills in entrepreneurship and commercialisation. This background prepares the next generation of biotechnologists with the skills required to generate biotechnological solutions and to bring them to market.
