Murdoch University

In this course students will learn how to apply the techniques and scientific principles of microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry and immunology, across industries including chemical engineering, medicine, agriculture and the environment. Students also get opportunity to explore the chemical and molecular processes involved in genetic engineering, fermentation and separation technology and learn how to apply them to the commercial sector.As one of the first of its kind in Australia, our biotechnology course has had time to develop into one of the countries strongest practically-balanced degree. This means much of your learning and experience will be gained through hands-on, laboratory-based class-work and fieldwork. This course will help students to discover how biotechnology can be applied across industry and processes such as: brewing, viticulture or cheese-making, the production of antibiotics and enzymes, for creating diagnostic medical kits and antibodies,bio-waste energy production, and, improving plant and animal productivity.
Good knowledge of biology .
Major studies focuses on applying of techniques and scientific principles of microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry and immunology, across industries including chemical engineering, medicine, agriculture and the environment and discovery of how biotechnology can be applied across industry and processes such as: brewing, viticulture or cheese-making, the production of antibiotics and enzymes, for creating diagnostic medical kits and antibodies,bio-waste energy production, and, improving plant and animal productivity.
After pursuing this degree, Students will be eligible for membership of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI).
The expansion of knowledge in molecular genetics has taken genetic engineering out of the realm of science fiction and made it a reality. After completing graduation from Murdoch university, employment outlook of student becomes brilliant, especially after combining degree with other disciplines. Depending on which skill combinations or specializations student have, Murdoch degree may lead towards work and study opportunities in a number of areas. The following are some professions which student may get after completing this course such as Forensic Biologist, Food Science Technician, Biological Scientist/ Biotechnologist.
