Biotechnology:

• Understand and utilise various biological systems and/or living organisms to develop new technologies and processes of value to the healthcare industry, agricultural and industrial sectors, and the environment.

Minors available:

• Applied Microbiology: Study microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses. This knowledge can be used to prevent food spoilage and biofouling, stop the spread of infectious diseases, and solve environmental problems by removing pollutants.
• Psychology: Study the human mind, mental processes and resulting behaviour. This is a broad scientific discipline that includes investigations of the brain, memory, perception, reasoning, and mental health and wellbeing.
• Chemistry (minor): Study the science of matter and energy, how atoms and molecules react and interact, and how that behaviour can be harnessed to transform materials, medicine and technology.
• Genetics and Genomics (minor): Study the structure, function, transmission and evolution of genes. Genetics underpins many exciting areas such as biomedical science, conservation biology and forensics.
