The Master of Biotechnology is a 54-unit program comprising coursework and research leading to a thesis and is offered by the College of Medicine and Public Health.
Applicants must normally have completed, with a Credit average or better, an approved degree in a biological or medical science at an approved tertiary institution. However, the Biotechnology Examinations Board may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.
The Master of Biotechnology course is a research higher degree award which aims at providing a more direct pathway to research training leading to a PhD than the coursework-based Master of Biotechnology Studies course. Nevertheless, the aims of both courses are to develop graduates who are able to function as practitioners in the interdisciplinary, global research-intensive biotechnology industry. They are designed to enhance graduates’ abilities to contribute to the development of scientifically sound, ethical and culturally sensitive solutions to complex problems for the economic and social benefit of society. They aim to develop graduates who work effectively within team environments and improve their practice through critical reflection and learning.
On successful completion of the course, graduates should be able to:
