Structure
Detailed information about the course structure is available through official Curtin pages: http://handbook.curtin.edu.au/courses/31/319644.html
Subjects
- Students can focus on molecular biotechnology, or on the microbiology of infectious diseases. The course provides students with valuable scientific and research skills through advanced level coursework units in specialist areas. Because postgraduate students often have specific plans for their postgraduate level career, the courses allow significant flexibility in the combination of units that may be studied. Students can learn key laboratory techniques in modern molecular genetics, biotechnology, and medical sciences and can put their learning into practice in an advanced laboratory unit, or through individual projects within a research or diagnostic laboratory. In practical work, students will be presented with real-life situations involving experimental design, technique selection and solving practical problems in the laboratory.
