<p>There is much scope to tailor the course to specific interests in medical, plant/agricultural or chemical biotechnology. ANU is central to many research institutes developing leading-edge applications of biotechnology which gives students the opportunity to be taught by world class researchers and spend time in a research laboratory. The degree leads to careers in government regulatory bodies involved with health, agriculture, food and the environment, as well as positions in hospitals, food and pharmaceutical industries, and opportunities in research.</p>

<p align="left">With rapid advancements in the use of technology in medicine, biomedical research, the pharmaceutical industry and agriculture, biotechnology has become an important part of future science and will play an increasingly important role in the economies of this and other countries. </p><p>ANU is centrally situated amongst research institutes actively developing biotechnology, and has well-established links to industry and government. As new areas of biotechnology develop, linking biology to computing, electronics and engineering, ANU is well placed to draw on ongoing research and features up-to-date research information in undergraduate courses. </p><p>The Bachelor of Biotechnology degree, offered through the Research School of Biology, is a three year program containing a core curriculum introducing the basic principles of molecular and cellular biology, biotechnology, microbiology, societal and ethical issues in biotechnology and intellectual property. Elective courses available within the College of Medicine, Biology and Environment and College of Physical Sciences allow students to tailor the program to their specific interests such as medical, plant/agricultural or chemical biotechnology.</p><p><em><strong>This program is not available for Semester 2 commencement.</strong></em> </p>
