The Doctor of Biotechnology program is designed to train scientists in the application of principles of management, to develop an understanding of management issues for research enterprises and technology ventures and the integration of specialist training in the area of biotechnology and research.

Students in the doctorate will undertake courses at an advanced level in areas such as regulatory and legal issues, innovation, and biotechnology venture management.

In addition, a large self-directed study component and a thesis component is included to explore and develop academic areas of interest.

Students who commenced the Doctor of Biotechnology prior to 2014 should refer to the previous DBiotech program and course list.
