Master of Science in Applied Biology and Biotechnology

at EduCo - RMIT University - Bundoora Campus Australia

The Bachelor of Education is designed around relevant, up-to-date course content to prepare you for the challenging, yet rewarding, world of education.

Combining a variety of contemporary, interactive learning and teaching approaches—including both face-to-face and online delivery modes—this immersive degree covers all of the bases required to become an exceptional teacher.

At RMIT, you get to decide what kind of teacher you’d like to be. Choose from specialisations in:

• General primary
• Early childhood
• Disability inclusion
• Physical education and sport

Through your subject selection, you can choose to build your expertise in English/literacy, mathematics/numeracy, or STEM.

Set young children up for a lifelong love of learning.

As an early childhood teacher, you will support young learners and their families as advocates, enablers, custodians and thinkers—nurturing tomorrow’s global citizens in yet-to-be-imagined futures.

The Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Education is designed to give you the skills and confidence to become an innovative and attuned professional teacher with the knowledge and experience to work in private enterprise, government agencies and community-based early childhood education settings, either locally or globally.

At the end of your studies, you'll be qualified to teach in the early childhood setting in Victoria. If you’re interested in teaching outside of Victoria or overseas, registration will be subject to the criteria of the relevant state or overseas accrediting authorities.

RMIT's Bachelor of Laboratory Medicine (Honours) will equip you with fundamental knowledge of human anatomy and physiology, develop your communication and professional skills and introduce you to factors that impact the health of individuals and communities, particularly our First Nations peoples.

You'll build skills and knowledge of molecular diagnostics which will provide an overview of the detection and application of biochemical and molecular biology techniques (DNA or RNA) to provide clinical information in the study of human diseases, including infectious disease, inherited conditions and cancer.

You'll also learn about clinical immunology and pathology, gaining an understanding of the diagnosis and management of patients with diseases or disease processes that result from disturbed immunological or pathophysiological mechanisms.

As a graduate of this laboratory medicine degree, you'll be qualified to practise as a medical scientist in the diagnostic pathology industry, be competitive for employment in medical research and be competitive for entry into PhD studies.

The Master of Biotechnology focuses on the study of living systems to address challenges in the environment, health or food science.

Students will explore gene and protein technologies, bioinformatics, and various microbiology and food science disciplines, both in the classroom and via a strong component of hands-on laboratory practicals.

This program includes an option to complete one semester of either work experience in the form of an industry placement, or a research project where you’ll complete minor thesis.

All students have the opportunity to analyse real-world data when they undertake a research project.

Develop your research skills and contribute to new developments in nursing and health care delivery.

The School of Health and Biomedical Sciences conducts research in the area of ageing and chronic disease, including:

• Evaluation of interventions for preventing, diagnosing and treating chronic health issues
