Bachelor of Science (Biological Sciences)

Why choose this course?

This course provides a strong foundation in the core biological sciences such as physiology, genetics, zoology, plant sciences, and microbiology. It is designed to be hands-on, to develop problem-solving skills through active learning, and to give an early appreciation of the way that many disciplines can be brought to bear on a problem.

As well as receiving core training in the basics through the biology major, you can either add breadth to your degree by choosing a minor from a complementary discipline (e.g. chemistry) or depth to your biological skills through a specialized minor such as biotechnology.

You will experience some of the most advanced laboratories and fieldwork opportunities in Australia and be taught by staff who are at the top of their research fields internationally. You will also stay in touch with the real world, as guest lectures, site visits and opportunities for work integrated learning bring a strong industry flavor to the degree.
