Studying a Bachelor of Science (Honours) unlocks a deeper understanding of the natural world and your role within it. By majoring in Microbiology and Immunology, you’ll investigate the intricate workings of molecules, genes, and cells, discovering how these fundamental components drive the evolution and diversity of life. You’ll explore the biology of bacteria, viruses, and parasites, and examine how our bodies detect and respond to these microscopic invaders, as well as what occurs when immune defences are weakened.
Guided by leading researchers, you’ll gain hands-on experience through extensive laboratory work – and over 180 hours of practicals – developing advanced skills in microbiology, immunology, and molecular science to complement your broader scientific and analytical abilities.
Let your curiosity lead you as you apply scientific knowledge to address real-world issues, preparing for a career that can make a difference across diverse sectors both locally and internationally. The expertise and understanding you gain in your final honours year will be versatile, empowering your success across scientific disciplines as well as in interdisciplinary careers.
