Specialisation
Please note this specialisation is only available in 2022.
Biology is the study of life, ranging from molecules and their modes of action, through to understanding complex communities and their relationship with the environment.
We are living in a most exciting time for studying and working in biology as new technologies, such as recombinant DNA, genomics and proteomics, place powerful tools in the hands of biologists.
These advances, along with our ability to process and interpret large volumes of complex data, have generated a gigantic leap in our understanding of the fundamental molecular mechanisms and processes controlling life.
Graduate opportunities
As a biology graduate you can expect an exciting and rewarding career contributing to the community through opportunities in business, research, training, education and government.
Even in areas where specific biological knowledge has no direct input, a wide biological knowledge and advanced analytical skills allow biology graduates to play a leading role in local and global events.
As a graduate you may combine laboratory research and fieldwork to study biological systems in many of the world's remote and fascinating ecosystems.
