These are mandatory and all come with course.
Using world-leading research staff, business experts and mentors in biotechnology companies, you're provided with the fundamental academic and business skills needed to make a significant contribution to the biotechnology sector.
The use of plants, animals and bacteria, enhanced by areas such as genetics, genomics and synthetic biology, gives rise to new food, fibre and biochemical production routes, and new strategies for environmental protection and stewardship, all central requirements as the global population increases over the coming decades.
You will study the theory of genetics and molecular biology and receive world-class training in ‘next generation’ practical techniques such as proteomics, metabolomics, genomics, and synthetic biology.
These core skills will be complemented by bioinformatics practices at UWA.
This course will put you in an ideal position to pursue careers in international research laboratories, government agencies and the private sector, as outlined under Careers & Further Study.
AQUAtech includes the application of biotechnology for the generation of aquatic products.
