Master of Biotechnology (Biomedical)(Advanced)

The two-year full-time Advanced degree shares a common first year with the non-Advanced program, in which you will:

• learn from active researchers in biomedical science
• gain the latest industry insights from lab placements
• take courses in entrepreneurship, innovation and intellectual property management
• hone your skills in all the same internationally renowned research facilities and centres listed in the Master of Biotechnology (Biomedical) description.

In the second year, however, the Advanced degree offers the opportunity to pursue a 24-point research project focused in a specific area, as opposed to the non-Advanced degree's 12-point, more general project.

Please note that entry into the second-year Advanced stream requires a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 6. If your GPA is below 6, you will be able to continue in the non-Advanced stream.

Entry to postgraduate coursework programs as a minimum requires a Bachelors degree or equivalent qualification from an approved institution as a qualification for entry. Some of the graduate certificates and graduate diplomas that are offered may be accepted as qualifying work for entry to a Masters program, or as professional qualifications in their own right.
