Medical biotechnologies are transforming the way we prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases across the globe. From biomarker discovery to the development of assays to detect disease, this innovative field of science sits at the intersections of medical science and technology innovation.
The Master of Medical Biotechnology Extension course is designed for scientists eager to establish and advance in the rapidly-expanding biotechnology sector, offering a deep blend of advanced theoretical knowledge and essential technological skills.
What sets this course apart is its integration of UTS's state-of-the-art biotechnology facilities and expert-taught methodologies, with a curriculum designed to develop your core scientific competencies in parallel with your professional development and leadership experience. Your study plan is customisable with a suite of electives aligned with your professional interests and career aspirations.
You will gain advanced expertise in biotechnology techniques, including live cell fluorescence microscopy and proteomics, and learn to design research trials to tackle infectious diseases. The course also equips you with professional skills in stakeholder communication, data analysis and visualisation, project management, and risk assessment, tailored to diverse work environments.
High-achieving students can apply for a more intensive research project, providing you with a track-record for independent research, preparing you for a future PhD project and and your career in biotechnology research and innovation.
The compulsory core subjects are relevant to all science disciplines and provide a backbone of skills important to a professional scientist; be they engaged in research, science businesses, industries or government organisations. These are the skills of communication, critical analysis, project management and innovation and commercialisation. These are complemented by professional stream choices which enable students to select a portfolio of skills relevant to their chosen career. The professional strand is complemented by medical biotechnology study. Students may have the option of undertaking a small research project, subject to approval by the faculty. For students with suitable achievement levels, an opportunity to undertake a more substantial research project is available by transferring into the Master of Philosophy in Medical Biotechnology (C04389). For those considering a research degree, the Master of Philosophy in Medical Biotechnology, which provides a direct pathway to the UTS PhD program.
