Students completing this accelerated pathway will graduate with both a Bachelor of Human Sciences majoring in Human Science and Data Analytics, and a Master of Bioinformatics. As the world becomes increasingly globalised, the importance of understanding and respecting cultural and physical differences between individuals becomes critical.
The core units within the major in Human Sciences and Data Analytics will provide students with the theoretical framework to understand how biological and cultural variation occurs, what forces shape this variation between and within populations, and how can we use this information to inform us of our evolutionary history. These critical concepts are explored in this undergraduate program via a sequence of units that examines the biology of 'being human' in today's world with an emphasis on how biology and behaviour of humans are influenced by genetic, developmental, ecological and cultural factors. These are complex interactions and often are associated with ‘big data'. Importantly, the undergraduate program co-develops the data analysis/statistical skills necessary to understand the data types, experimental design and skills needed to make predictions and model complex biological interactions. This program will enhance skills needed for the future such as analytical thinking and innovation, critical thinking, complex problem-solving and programming.
The Master of Bioinformatics provides the student with the ability to extend their biological and analytical knowledge and skills obtained from the undergraduate program to the realm of genomics and other 'omic' data generated from different sequencing platforms to inform basic human science questions relating to health, disease and our changing environment.
Students will have also have developed relevant transferable skills for effective communication and engagement with community, government and industry groups involved in social and public health policies.
If you decide not to continue in the CBM you can exit after three years with a Bachelor of Human Sciences (Advanced). Note that the Advanced Bachelor Degree is available only as a CBM exit award. It is not offered for direct enrolment and is not awarded on completion of the CBM.
