Biotechnology

Developed in response to industry needs

This exciting new program has been developed in response to industry needs for professionals with skills in business innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as bioinformatics and regulatory compliance knowledge.

This masters draws on the combined expertise of Griffith’s School of Environment and Science, Griffith Law School and Griffith Business School, as well as research staff across two research institutes, the Griffith Institute of Drug Discovery and Institute for Glycomics.

Flexible to focus on research or industry experience

Students have the flexibility to pursue a smaller research project and undertake an industry internship, or an extended research project as a pathway to PhD.

Regardless of the pathway you choose, you will still undertake a research component in your area of specialisation and have access to our globally recognised institutes, Griffith Research Institute for Drug Discovery and Institute for Glycomics.

Innovation and Entrepreneurship

You’ll have access to the latest technologies associated with the development of new molecular biotechnologies, business planning and marketing strategies.

You’ll develop the ability to innovate, plan, manage and implement new biotechnologies, as well as design, critically review and undertake experimental programs in modern biotechnology research and commercial environments.

You’ll be equipped with the skills to analyse and interpret data using the most current bioinformatics tools.

Further, you’ll develop communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with researchers, work effectively in multidisciplinary teams and provide high quality reports to employers and the wider scientific community.

Flexible exit points

You also have the flexibility to exit the Masters program early if you wish or your circumstances change.

If you’ve successfully completed 4 courses (40 credit points) you can exit with a Graduate Certificate in Science.

If you’ve successfully completed 8 courses (80 credit points) you have the option to exit with a Graduate Diploma of Science, so you still receive credit for your studies.
