What will I learn?

Medical biotechnology is the application of advances in molecular and cell biology to medicine, human health and disease.

The Bachelor of Medical Biotechnology (Honours) encompasses the rapidly evolving fields of gene editing and CRISPR technologies, stem cell therapy, microbiome research, data science and Immunotherapy. By using innovative technologies, such as molecular modelling and design, next generation sequencing and advanced drug-delivery systems, biotechnology is shaping diverse aspects of medicine (e.g. cancer, vaccines, disease therapy and diagnostics, and medical devices), and many other fields (e.g. veterinary science, food production). This course will provide you with the tools and knowledge to work in any of these fields.

You will study the following areas: molecular and functional biology, chemistry, biochemistry, anatomy and physiology, genetics, statistics, cell biology, immunology, microbiology and bioinformatics, just to name a few. You will learn about techniques in biotechnology and medical research whilst also having opportunities to explore other areas of passion through dedicated elective space within this degree.

To support your learning, you will participate in practical classes in our purpose-built sciences teaching facility in the Science Precinct of the Wollongong campus, or out in the field. Built into the fourth year of the course, honours includes a focused research project in an area of interest in medical biotechnology, under the supervision of a leading researcher, together with other advanced course work, ensuring that you have the skills and knowledge to meet the needs of tomorrow's employers.

Accreditation & professional recognition: Graduates qualify to apply for membership of relevant professional societies such as the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Australian Society for Microbiology.
