Biotechnology Research Extensive (32 units)

University of Queensland

About

There is a tremendous demand for people with experience in Biotech, both in the academic and industrial settings.

Such experience can be used at the "coalface" level where the person actually carries out research, at the management level where a knowledge of techniques and approaches is required, at the regulatory level and in publicity/advertising.

The Research Extensive program is designed to enable scientists who wish to increase their technical and research skills in core areas of biotechnology and wish to obtain a more extended laboratory immersion than is available in the Master of Biotechnology.

The extended program will also provide a strong preparation for entry into a PhD program.

This program is recognised by the US National Professional Science Master's Association as an affiliated Professional Science Master's program.
