Course overview
Biotechnology is an exciting area of interdisciplinary research and development activity. The course offers two strands - medical biotechnology and industrial biotechnology - both of which build on a core of basic science, including biochemical and microbiological techniques.
The medical strand is for students interested in medical aspects of biology. They also undertake studies in physiology, and consider the biochemical basis of disease, infectious disease, immunology and immunopathology, epidemiology and diagnostics.
The industrial strand covers recombinant DNA technology, natural products chemistry, principles of modern instrumentation, experimental design and data analysis. Final-year students may take part in biotechnological research in an elective applied research project. Students may select additional units from areas such as environmental science, computing and statistics.
