Through technologies such as genetic engineering, biotechnology is shaping diverse aspects of medicine (treating cancer, vaccines, therapy and diagnosis of genetic diseases) and industry (bioremediation).UOW's Bachelor of Medical Biotechnology (Honours) provides you with the tools and knowledge to work in both of these areas.You will complete a major in cellular and molecular biology, including genetics, immunology and bioinformatics. You will also complete a major strand of chemistry and an optional strand in human anatomy and physiology. The nature of subjects like genetic engineering means you will also complete studies in ethics and management.If you do not qualify for direct entry to the degree you can gain admission via the Bachelor of Science, subject to satisfactory performance in first year and approval of the Course Co-ordinator and the Head of Students.

Marine Science is the area of science that deals with the study of the ocean.

Students who have fulfilled the requirements of a Bachelor of Science with a major in a discipline offered by the Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health, the Bachelor of Exercise Science or the Bachelor of Nutrition Science or an equivalent qualification from another University and achieved the required academic standard may undertake an Honours degree - a year of research training in the discipline.The Honours degree provides students with the opportunity to undertake research on a topic of interest. This degree is designed to provide students with skills to demonstrate excellence in research with a clear understanding of a research question in relation to current knowledge. The degree program fosters the following abilities and skills: plan, design and perform a research project; collect and analyse data; evaluate data; synthesise results and integrate with relevant ideas and concepts; communicate findings; and put relevant principles into practice.It represents a gateway to future research opportunities, both in the form of higher research degrees and as a career in research, or other vocations that require advanced analytical and research skills.

The Dean Scholar Program, designed specifically for high achieving students, offers direct entry into Honours (unlike the normal Bachelor of Science which delays selection for Honours until the completion of the third year) and additional enrichment opportunities.During the first three years students gain a comprehensive education in Science by selecting a major study and a range of elective subjects. The major areas of study comprise: Cell and Molecular Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Physical Geography and Ecology and Conservation Biology. The flexible structure of the major and electives allows students to design their study program to meet their particular interests and abilities. Students may combine their chosen Science major with a second major chosen from outside the Faculty, or with a range of elective subjects.All students are invited to participate in various enrichment activities throughout the program and, after the first year, to develop a close association with an appropriate member of one of the faculty's research teams.Dean's Scholar students have the opportunity to undertake individual research subjects.
