All students undertake a common first year and then select one of five specialist streams in their second year. The common first year lets students explore where their interests and aptitudes lie, allowing an informed choice at a more advanced level in their studies.

The five specialist streams are:

Biomolecular processing (Industrial biotechnology)

Chemical biotechnology

Medical biotechnology

Materials and nanotechnology

Pharmacological chemistry (Drug development)

At the end of third year, students either undertake a pass degree involving further studies to broaden and deepen their knowledge or complete an honours program, which requires them to complete a research project involving a thesis and a group activity with other biotechnology students in the industry or community.
