Students will start from a broad base in their first year with fundamental knowledge and skills in biology, chemistry, quantitative and generic science literacy skills. In second year, students will begin to specialise with a focus on their area of interest and will have the opportunity to undertake a semester of study abroad in the second half of the year. In third year, students will choose a major in one of Agribiotechnology, Biochemistry, Genetics, and Microbiology and Immunology and will have the opportunity to complete an industry or research placement. In fourth year, students will undertake a 12 unit research project.
