Work at the intersection of emerging technology and medical or environmental science
Biotechnology
Harness the power of cellular and molecular processes with biotechnology courses that stand out from the pack. Explore medical or environmental biotech (or both), get hands-on with transformational technologies and upskill in the business of biotechnology with a range of professional electives.
At UTS, there’s more than one way to get a biotechnology qualification — you can study a specialist molecular biotechnology degree or customise your learning with our Bachelor of Science course options. Depending on your study plan, you’ll emerge ready to transform human health by developing new vaccines, diagnostics and medicines, or to preserve our natural world with roles in biosecurity, conservation and environmental consultancy, among others.
COMBINED DEGREES
Choose from Business, International Studies, Sustainability & Environment, Creative Intelligence & Innovation, Engineering or Law and gain two qualifications in one when you combine your science and maths degree with another UTS degree.
Why UTS Biotechnology?
Learn from the leaders. Course content is shaped by research from the acclaimed UTS Climate Change Cluster (C3); the Australian Institute for Microbiology & Infection (AIMI); the School of Life Sciences; and the Deep Green Biotech Hub, a UTS-partnered collaboration that specialises in algal biotechnology and innovation.
Explore life outside the lab. Learning isn’t just about what happens in the classroom. Expand your horizons with professional internships, international exchange placements and opportunities for cross-faculty study.
Choose a growth industry. By 2031, the global biotechnology market is expected to be valued at US$53.7 billion. Get ready to take your place in this rapidly expanding sector with a degree from UTS.
“This degree has shown me that we should never take a problem at face value because there are always so many different perspectives and issues that need to be considered.”
