Bachelor
Understand life at the molecular level - the complex functioning of cells, tissues and organisms. Training in cutting-edge technologies will equip you with the tools to tackle the many challenges in the biological and/or health sciences. This degree also serves as an excellent stepping stone into careers in the biosciences.
In Molecular Sciences you will learn about life at the molecular level. Starting with the building blocks of life (DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates) you work towards understanding the complex function of cells, tissues and organisms. Training in cutting-edge technologies will equip you with the tools to answer the many challenges in the biological and/or health sciences.

The degree serves as an excellent stepping stone into careers in the biosciences. Successful completion of the Molecular Life Sciences extended major allows you to progress to a Master of Biotechnology or other postgraduate studies in relevant bioscience disciplines. Alternatively, the successful completion of the Biochemistry of Nutrition extended major will enable you to pursue postgraduate studies in the Master of Biomedical Science or a related discipline.
Work Integrated Learning (WIL) helps bridge the gap between theory and practice by providing opportunities for students to gain hands-on, practical industry relevant experience and for employers to help shape the graduates of tomorrow.
Develop your employability skills through a science work placement. The following units are available to all science undergraduate students who are looking to gain practical hands-on industry relevant experience:
The Cell and Molecular Life Facility offers state-of-the-art technology to staff and students whose research investigates diverse insults affecting animal and human cells and tissues.
Research conducted in the Cell and Molecular - Life Facility lead to a better understanding of cell and body function, help develop therapeutics and contribute to prevent disease. Investigating changes at the molecular level gives researchers the opportunity to understand the effects of genes on cell and body function (and vice versa) at an early stage of insult manifestation.
Cutting-edge facilities enable world-class research and study
The Bayliss Building is an impressive five-storey facility that's the largest and most technically complex building on our campus. It houses a range of facilities to support world-class research and teaching, and labs have been built on every level to suit various curriculum requirements as students progress.
