V95 Bachelor of Science (Biomolecular Science)

BIOMOLECULAR SCIENCE

Course Code

 

Biomolecular Science is the study of biological systems at the molecular level. It involves the collaborative efforts of a wide range of specialists, including biochemists, biologists, chemists and biotechnologists. During the last half-century there have been remarkable advances in our knowledge of the molecular chemistry of biological systems, most evident in the booming genetics and biotechnology industries. The Bachelor of Science (Biomolecular Science) provides a detailed background in biological systems at the molecular level and prepares students for employment in research, development and commercial activity in a wide range of health sciences, natural resource management and commercial biotechnology industries. The course meets the demand for scientists who have a strong focus on laboratory-based careers in molecular science, as applied both to medicine- and science-based disciplines in a most promising area of scientific and technological opportunity.
