The MS in Biotechnology program offers a comprehensive exploration of basic science, applied science, and lab science, with a biotechnology focus. The program gives students a solid grounding in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, genomics, and proteomics, and the flexibility for students to tailor elective coursework to meet their individual career goals. In addition to the general degree, the program offers seven different concentrations:

• Biodefense
• Bioinformatics
• Biotechnology Enterprise
• Molecular Target and Drug Discovery Technologies
• Regulatory Affairs
• Regenerative and Stem Cell Technologies
• Health Science Intensive - Must apply for this concentration

Thus, students can choose to solely focus on strengthening their science knowledge and research skills, or to also develop the skills to lead lab teams, make development and planning decisions, create and apply research modalities to large projects, and take the reins of management and marketing decisions.

Place yourself at the forefront of innovation, engineering organisms to address issues of food security, disease and climate change with the ANU Master of Biotechnology. Study alongside our leading researchers who work on issues of global importance in areas of biochemistry and molecular biology in the biomedical, animal and plant sciences. You will also consider the social and ethical impacts of biotechnological research.

The Master of Biostatistics at the University of Melbourne provides an advanced education in biostatistics. It encompasses the design of advanced experiments and the collection, summary, interpretation and communication of data analysis to health professionals. This degree covers all the necessary statistical theory, and the emphasis throughout is on the application and adaptation of computational analysis using current health datasets. The compulsory research project ensures that you are able to apply your skills to real-world problems. The wide-ranging elective subjects allow great flexibility in terms of biostatistics career pathways. On completion of the master's degree, graduates will have had the opportunity to complete a research-based project under expert biostatistical supervision and will attain the required skills for employment as a professional biostatistician or for continuing to a research higher degree.

The degree of Master of Science in research requires a minimum of three academic sessions of full-time study and preparation of a written thesis. The length of a Masters research thesis normally should not exceed 75,000 words of text.

Expand your skill-set with advanced biotechnology courses and develop specialisations for further study. The Graduate Certificate in Biotechnology program is designed for scientists who want to update their technical skills in core areas such as molecular biology, protein technology or bioinformatics, or acquire research laboratory experience. For your half year of full-time (or part-time equivalent) studies, you'll select from more than 30 courses, allowing you to tailor your studies to suit your interests and career goals. Choose electives in molecular biology, business planning, intellectual property, drug discovery and development, immunology and infectious diseases, and more. With more than 400 biotechnology companies and some 600 medical device companies in Australia alone, UQ Biotechnology graduates are highly sought after for roles in health, agriculture, diagnostics, the environment, forestry, law and commerce. Program highlights Study with a world leader in biotechnology research, which ranks first in Australia and in the top 10 globally. 2019 ARWU Global Ranking of Academic Subjects Learn from entrepreneurial scientists who have successfully commercialised their scientific discoveries. Take advantage of a large suite of electives in science that underpin new biotechnologies.

The Master of Biotechnology offered by Monash University is an advanced Masters course designed for students aspiring to become professionals in Biotechnology. Students will gain hands-on experience through practical exercises and real-world projects, allowing them to apply the concepts learned in class. The curriculum is carefully designed to ensure that students develop a strong foundation in Biotechnology and acquire the skills needed to solve complex problems in the industry. Upon completion of this course, students will be well-prepared to tackle the challenges of Biotechnology and pursue rewarding career opportunities such as Medical Sciences, Clinical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Microbiology, Medical Engineering, Process Development Science, and Clinical Research.

This is a signature program that set us apart from other universities by offering a thorough grounding in state-of-the-art biotechnology and combining this with training in enterprise and commercialisation. This includes developing the theory of genetics and molecular biology in parallel with skills training in practical techniques such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, recombinant DNA methods, and basic and advanced bioinformatics.

The Master of Medical Biotechnology is for two distinct groups of students, namely the professional scientists wishing to update their industry-related skills for career advancement and students considering a research degree. 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 Master of Medical Biotechnology is designed for students who seek knowledge and technological expertise in specific areas of cell and molecular biology, which is the basis for modern biotechnological research and development. What you will study This degree will integrate your work practice skills to allow you to translate your skills into career ready attributes. Subjects give an introduction to the basic elements of modern cell and molecular biology before proceeding to intensive training in current biotechnology and its application to the fields of medicine, agriculture and molecular biology. This degree This degree is designed through the lens of global perspectives in science where you will also be exposed to emerging technologies such as the use of drones, artificial intelligence AI, coding and virtual reality (google VR) in science data collection and analysis during your first year core subjects. Tutorials and laboratory-based practical work is offered and you have the opportunity to explore new technology developed in the field of study. Additional preparatory subjects focus on laboratory work and science communication skills. With appropriate qualifications and laboratory skills, you can be awarded credit for these preparatory subjects.

Develop your advanced research skills and contribute to new developments in biomedical sciences. We have a multidisciplinary research base that offers opportunities to conduct biomedical research in a range of areas.Under expert supervision, you will develop your skills and join researchers already active in: aquatic and marine biology ecotoxicology (biomarkers for environmental pollutants) environmental and molecular approaches to diagnose and develop solutions for disease, agricultural and environmental problems genomics and sequencing techniques applied to various organisms microbiology (food, medical and environmental biotechnology, vaccine development, fundamentals of pathogen/host interactions) plant biology (plant biotechnology and genomics, molecular plant breeding, ecotoxicogenomics, fire and environmental ecology) genomics and sequencing techniques applied to various organisms.

With the world population rapidly growing, the need for products and technologies that can produce sustainable food sources, create cleaner fuels, reduce our environmental footprint and combat disease also grows. Biotechnology, which has been employed for thousands of years in agriculture, food production and medicine, utilises cellular and biomolecular processes to develop such products and technologies.
