Overview

Master of Biotechnology

The Master of Biotechnology focuses on the study of living systems to address challenges in the environment, health or food science. 

Students will explore gene and protein technologies, bioinformatics, and various microbiology and food science disciplines, both in the classroom and via a strong component of hands-on laboratory practicals.

This program includes an option to complete one semester of either work experience in the form of an industry placement, or a research project where you’ll complete minor thesis.

All students have the opportunity to analyze real-world data when they undertake a bioinformatics research project.

This program emphasizes the practical application of new knowledge and technologies, and includes an optional semester of work experience or a research project.

Year one focuses on the development of core skills and knowledge, allowing you to specialize by selecting subjects of interest relevant to your chosen stream.

Year two further develops your specialization. Here you will apply your skills to a bioinformatics research project and have the opportunity to complete an optional work placement or additional research project with an industry partner.

Note: You will not need to pay any application fee but some of African countries will need to deposit of AU$100 application fee.
