Select from more than 30 courses, allowing you to tailor your studies to suit your interests and career goals. Specialise in one of 5 fields of biotechnology study: animal agriculture, medical, molecular imaging, plant agriculture, or synthetic biology and industrial.

Apply your expertise to a research project of your choice, working alongside leading UQ researchers or with one of UQ’s industry partners.

Put your learning into practice through internships, placements and international study options that focus on research and development, commercialisation, marketing and the business of science.

This program also provides strong preparation for entry into a PhD program.
