Overview

This program has a strong emphasis on understanding plant form and function from molecular, genetic and biochemical perspectives. It extends this understanding from fundamental science to applications in plant production, human and animal health, biofuels, and ultimately to commercialisation of plant biotechnology. The program is designed as a series of short courses, integrating scientific communication, critical thinking, problem solving and bioinformatics into the curriculum.
The Master of Biotechnology (Plant Biotechnology) is an AQF Level 9 Masters Extension qualification with a standard full-time duration of 2 years.

Conditions

Condition of Continuing Enrolment:  A student must complete all of the coursework before commencing the research project.

Interruption of program: Students must apply for permission from the Executive Dean or delegate before taking a Leave of Absence. Any extension of the leave without approval will result in the loss of place in the program but an application may be made to be re-admitted to the program subject to the admission procedures in place at the time.
