By 2031, the global biotechnology market is expected to be valued at US$53.7 billion – which means over the coming decade, skilled biotech professionals will be more in demand than ever. 

Students passionate about using science to transform human and environmental outcomes can take their place in this rapidly expanding field.

At its core, biotechnology is about manipulating the cellular and molecular processes of living organisms. 

With a unique hands-on learning style, UTS Bachelor of Molecular Biotechnology students work at the intersection of emerging technology and medical or environmental science to drive human and planetary health innovations.
