Benefit from the guidance of teachers whose research findings are known on a global scale. Use this research to conduct case studies. Take a hands-on approach with a lab component. Specialise in biology, including genetics, genes and life processes.

Bachelor of Science

Want to create innovative products in the food and beverage space? This specialised course will give you the knowledge you need to excel in brewing, winemaking or food fermentation. You’ll study key areas like microbiology, chemistry and quality management.

Associate Degree in Applied Science (Fermentation and Separation)

Master the use of programming, statistics, and mathematics to solve complex biological problems. Build upon your background in biology or mathematics. You'll to develop your programming, statistical, and modelling skills. Includes 2 research projects.

Master of Quantitative Biology

Hone skills in working with complex data sets – combining biology, computer science and information engineering. Work on a project under the eyes of an industry professional. Make workplace connections. Become a bioinformatition or informatician.

Master of Bioinformatics

Foundations of Human Biology 2

Genes to Organisms

Human Evolution and Diversity

Map the complex architecture of the human body and learn how it’s organised and structured. Navigate the journey of the smallest cell to the largest organ. Observe how the body performs and adapts, responding to stress and disease to maintain life.

Introduction to Human Physiology

Get to know what it takes for the body to maintain homeostasis, create movement, and provide oxygenation. Cover body organisation, cells, tissues, the muscles and skeleton. Understand the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous and endocrine systems. 

Foundations of Human Biology 1

Explore the complex structure of the human body and learn what fuels its functions and performance. Discover how muscles, bones and the nervous system work together to optimise the body’s strength and agility for survival.

Introduction to Anatomy

Get to know the nervous, muscular and cardiovascular systems and how they interact to keep the human body alive and thriving. Master critical skills to solve problems that affect or change the way the body operates and behaves.

Advanced Systems Physiology A

Map the genetics, immunology and microbiology of the human body. Learn to examine, isolate, transfer and culture micro-organisms. Consider cell structure and replication. Study the immune system. Learn about inheritance traits and genetic transfer. 

Introduction to Microbiology, Immunology and Genetics

Study cells up close to learn how they are made up, function and convert food into energy to sustain life. Discover why protein is critical to a cell’s structure and performance, and how it helps to regulate the body’s tissues and vital organs.

Introduction to Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Biological and Learning Psychology

Study the structure and role of living cells to understand the biological processes that give and sustain life. Learn how the composition of cells can change and cause disease, and how proteins and DNA interact to create health benefits.

Metabolic Biochemistry and Cell Biology

Examine the way the respiratory, renal, endocrine and gastrointestinal systems steer and control the way the human body functions. Identify and unravel real health conditions that affect and change the way the body operates and performs.

Advanced Systems Physiology B

Get to know the structure and function of animals with a focus on mammals and people. Chart the reproduction cycle of major vertebrate groups. Compare anatomy of mammals with other animals from excretion to endocrine systems. Learn to examine tissue.
