In La Trobe University’s Master of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, students will learn to harness new and emerging technologies in human health, diagnostics, sustainability, food security and renewable energy.
Students will develop the human skills and technical expertise to launch a career in a range of exciting industries. From biological products to pharmaceuticals, agriculture to nutrition: they will be prepared to work in the fields that rely on this fast-growing area of science.
This degree gives students more than flexibility in their career – it also gives them flexibility in how they study. In their final year, they could take an advanced bioinformatics pathway. Or students could choose the research project pathway instead, enjoying unrivalled access to industry networks and researchers in the field and benefiting from 25-30 hours of laboratory time each week.
For students who want to head straight into the workforce, they could even exit with a Graduate Diploma in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics after successfully completing the first year of this degree.
