Bachelor of Biomedical Science and Bachelor of Laws at Australian Catholic University ACU

Advance your knowledge of conservation, ecology and biodiversity to find effective solutions in securing the world's biological diversity. This 6-month program will show you how to use science to support conservation strategies and policies. It integrates conservation, ecology and biodiversity with a focus on the problems of restoring and maintaining viable populations of animal and plant species, and natural and managed ecosystems so you can better confront complex conservation problems. To help you organise your study around professional and personal commitments, this program provides domestic students with the flexibility to complete their studies part-time in 12 months. You'll deepen your understanding of aspects of biodiversity and conservation, environmental philosophy, national and international conservation policy, and systematic conservation decision-making processes. This program is suitable for botany, ecology, evolution, or zoology graduates seeking further education in conservation issues. Program highlights Study at UQ, the world's leading university for biodiversity conservation research. Gain a comprehensive education in the ecosystems and evolutionary potential of the world's flora and fauna. Deepen your understanding of all aspects of biodiversity and conservation, environmental philosophy, national and international conservation policy.

Acquire high-level knowledge and develop practical skills relevant to modern molecular biology research or industry practice. With UQ's six-month Graduate Certificate in Molecular Biology program, you can build practical skills as you experience laboratory techniques such as electrophoresis, polymerase chain reaction, endonuclease mapping, fluorescent reporters and expression vectors. You'll develop an advanced knowledge of the structure and function of genes and the proteins they encode. Your study will cover genome sequencing, recombinant DNA technology and macromolecular structure determination. Through laboratory practicals, workshops, projects and directed study, you'll receive training in bioinformatics, molecular genetics, biomolecular structure and function, and immunology. You'll graduate with the high-level knowledge and skills to achieve your goals in modern molecular biology research or industry practice.
