COURSE DESCRIPTION
Harness nature’s potential
Biotechnology focuses on biology and technology, leading to the development of new products for feeding, fuelling and healing the world. This might include vaccine, antibiotic or hormone production and genetic modification.
It’s a fast-evolving industry with huge potential for improving global health and wellbeing. When we modify living things, all sorts of marvels become possible.
What will you do?
Our Bachelor of Biotechnology combines traditional science with aspects of engineering and computer science. You will:
give your experimentation meaning as you learn how to take your discoveries from the lab to the market and the broader community
delve into areas like drug development, gene therapy or the identification of biomarkers for cancers
learn how to produce food, drugs and other products
study alongside research-active experts
explore molecular, genetic, animal and plant biology
discover microbial biotechnology and bioprocess engineering
consider social and ethical issues, patents and waste management.
Where could it take you?
You could concoct world-changing pharmaceutical drugs in the lab. You might work to clone animals. Perhaps you’ll aid in the development and implementation of modern techniques for disease prediction and treatment.
