COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Science with a Biological Sciences major is designed for students who are interested in understanding living systems, from molecular processes and cellular functions to organisms and ecosystems. The program develops a strong foundation in scientific principles, laboratory techniques, research methods, data analysis, and practical problem-solving skills. Students begin with core science studies, including programming, multidisciplinary laboratory experiences, mathematics, and statistics, before specialising in Biological Sciences. The major explores key areas of biology through courses such as Molecules, Cells and Organisms, Organisms to Ecosystems, Molecular Laboratory Skills for Biological Sciences, Laboratory Skills in Biological Systems, and Advanced Laboratory Skills in Biological Sciences. Through a combination of theoretical learning, laboratory practice, and research-focused activities, students gain the skills required to investigate biological challenges and contribute to scientific innovation. The program also includes work-integrated learning opportunities, allowing students to connect academic knowledge with real-world applications. Graduates develop analytical, research, and communication skills relevant to careers in biotechnology, environmental science, healthcare, research, conservation, education, and government sectors. The flexible structure allows students to tailor their studies through electives and complementary science areas, preparing them for diverse professional pathways or further postgraduate study.
