About

In this course you will

Gain real-world insight and experience with industry guest lectures, site visits and work experience opportunities.
Combine theory and practice in plant and animal biology across study areas, including conservation, evolutionary biology, food security and biotechnology.
Learn from teaching staff at the top of their fields internationally.
Prepare yourself for various career options, such as animal management, plant breeding, entomology, marine biology, pest and disease management, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.

Biology is the study of life and living things: animals, insects, plants, and microorganisms; everything that breathes, grows and feeds us.

Biologists are curious about all these things and want to know how they work, how to grow and protect them—how to get involved with life on this planet.

Biologists love a challenge. Can we use biological waste to solve our energy crisis? How can we protect our plants and animals from new and fiendish exotic diseases? How many rare species can we save from extinction?
