Medical biotechnologies are transforming the way we prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases across the globe. From biomarker discovery to the development of assays to detect disease, this innovative field of science sits at the intersections of medical science and technology innovation.

This course is designed for scientists eager to excel in the rapidly-expanding biotechnology sector. Choose this program to immerse yourself in advanced biotechnology practices and to prepare for leadership in industries or academia.

What sets this course apart is its integration of UTS's state-of-the-art biotechnology facilities and expert-led classes in a curriculum designed to develop your core scientific competencies in parallel with your professional development and leadership experience.

You will gain expertise in a range of essential techniques and technologies, including live cell fluorescence microscopy and proteomics, and learn to design research trials to tackle infectious diseases. The course also equips you with versatile professional skills in stakeholder engagement, data analysis and visualisation, project management, and risk assessment, tailored to diverse work environments.

Learning is hands-on and interactive, providing extensive laboratory experience and the option to connect to real-world research projects. You'll also have the flexibility to customise your study plan with electives that align with your professional interests and career ambitions - whether in science, leadership, or industries of the future.

Course features:
  • Biotechnology subjects: Students build high-level skills with a series of core subjects that underpin the contemporary biotechnology field. From advanced subjects in microscopy, proteomics and bionanotechnology to the evidence and design of clinical trials and the use of biotechnology to deliver solutions to infectious diseases, students gain advanced discipline expertise that prepares them for senior roles in the field.
  • Professional subjects: Students complete two core subjects common to many UTS postgraduate science degrees (Advanced Communication Skills in Science, Understanding Data and Statistical Design). They can then customise their remaining professional stream credit points with choices in business models and intellectual property, project management principles, risk assessment and management, and more, preparing them to master new ways of working in a diversity of professional environments.
  • Elective subjects: Extensive elective choices give students the opportunity to tailor their studies to meet their professional goals. They can choose from additional science study in areas such as cytogenetics and genomics; build leadership skills with subjects in technology and innovation management and accounting for managerial decisions; or acquire high-level research skills with a biotechnology research internship elective and choices in human and animal research ethics, research proposal writing and more.
