Bachelor of Science (Biological Sciences)

Queensland University of Technology

Biology is the study of life and living things: animals, insects, plants, and microorganisms everything that breathes, grows and feeds us. This course provides a strong foundation in the core biological sciences such as physiology, genetics, zoology, plant sciences and microbiology. It is designed to be hands on, to develop problem-solving skills through active learning, and to give an early appreciation of the way that many disciplines can be brought to bear on a problem.As well as receiving core training in the basics through the biology major, you can either add breadth to your degree by choosing a minor from a complementary discipline (for example, chemistry) or depth to your biological skills through a specialised minor such as biotechnology.You will experience some of the most advanced laboratories and field work opportunities in Australia and be taught by staff who are at the top of their research fields internationally. You will also stay in touch with the real world, as guest lectures, site visits and opportunities for work integrated learning bring a strong industry flavour to the degree. Biologists are curious about all these things and want to know how they work, how to grow and protect them-how to get involved with life on this planet.
