Biological Sciences –
Biological Science is the study of how living organisms work. Learn to apply this knowledge of living things to make life better for humans, and help the environment.
Study the science behind all living things. The University offers subjects in the latest fields—specialise in one or two options for your Bachelor of Science (BSc).
Be part of one of the most exciting areas in modern science. Discover the mechanics of how life works and how this relates to the health of humans.
Take a look at cell biology, genetics and chemical genetics, and study living organisms at the molecular level. Get an introduction to physiology and pharmacology, and learn about human organs and organ systems.
If you’re interested in how cells function and the molecules they are made up of, and can see yourself leading the way in science innovation and enterprise, then Cell and Molecular Bioscience is the right choice for you.
Instead of just learning how a cell works we were learning how you could change a cell to solve a problem. And the labs were much more research focused, doing something no one else had done before.
