Molecular and Microbial Biotechnology

Take on an independent research project in the field of molecular and microbial biotechnology under the guidance of leading researchers.

You'll design, implement and present your research project, with emphasis on defining the research issue, establishing a methodology, undertaking appropriate collection and analysis of data, and drawing defensible conclusions.

Access world-class laboratory, research and computer facilities to gain hands-on experience in gene editing, recombinant DNA technology, bioinformatics and genomics.

Specialising in molecular and microbial biotechnology will prepare you for employment opportunities in Australia’s thriving life sciences sector, which includes the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food, medical and agricultural technology industries.

Alternatively, further your research ambitions and make significant contributions to knowledge by continuing into a higher degree by research program.
