About

Harness even more of nature's potential

Our direct-entry Bachelor of Biotechnology(Honours) provides high achieving students with automatic entry into an honours year, provided a 4.5 grade point average (GPA) is maintained.

Biotechnology–integrating biology and technology to create innovative solutions–has enormous potential to feed, fuel and heal. This degree will prepare you to enter this exciting and vital industry with advanced capability and an employability edge.

Like the Bachelor of Biotechnology, the direct-entry Bachelor of Biotechnology (Honours) combines biology with aspects of engineering and computer science. During the first three years, you will:

delve into molecular, genetic, animal and plant biology
experiment with protein separation, fermentation, genomics and proteomics
use revolutionary gene editing technology at Australia's first genome editing facility
explore microbial biotechnology and bioprocess engineering
learn how to produce food, drugs and other products
consider global social, economic, environmental and ethical issues, patents and waste management.

In addition to a Molecular Biology major, you'll be able to choose a second specialisation in: Bioinformatics; Chemistry; Genetics; or Microbiology and Biomedical Science.

You can also gain valuable work experience through an industry internship. And your research skills will be honed through a major research project and/or industry-related project in your honours year.
