Biotechnology

The new Bachelor of Biotechnology (with honours) is a four-year program that has substantial input from the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences and the Faculty of Science with support from the faculties of Arts, Information Technology, Business and Economics, Engineering and Law, and the Victorian College of Pharmacy.

The program was developed following extensive consultation with employers, consultants to the biotechnology industry, the Victorian Government, careers teachers and leaders of biotechnology programs at other universities.

While the program will utilise existing units available within the Bachelor of Science and the Bachelor of Biomedical Science, students will complete a core unit at each year level, focusing on current biotechnology and, in particular, the nature of commercial biotechnology.

After completing a common first year, students will choose an area of specialisation from areas including biomolecular processing, chemical biotechnology, medical biotechnology, nano-biotechnology, and cell and genetic biotechnology.
