The Bachelor of Biotechnology (Honours) at UNSW allows you to explore current trends and professional issues in the biotechnology industry, including commercialisation of biotechnology.
As with all our science degree offerings, you begin your study building on the fundamentals of science with courses such as biology, chemistry and maths. The honours year is a compulsory part of this degree and provides practical experience working in a biotechnology lab.
Students of Bachelor of Biotechnology (Honours) complete 24 courses plus an honours year taken over four years if studying full-time.
The degree contains a core set of courses that build on the foundational science taught in first year, culminating in a final honours year. Find out more about how to apply to honours.
TIP: When using the Handbook or the degree templates, always select the year you commenced studying science at UNSW and follow those rules throughout your degree.
All rules are outlined in the Handbook and we encourage you to use this in conjunction with the degree templates to ensure you are selecting courses that count towards your degree. If you’re approaching the end of your studies, you can request a progression check and our staff will provide an outline of your remaining degree requirements.
