Learn how advances in molecular analysis are changing the face of medicine, agriculture, horticulture, and ecology – and how you can help.

Molecular cell biology encompasses a hugely important area of study for the 21st century. It unifies many disciplines, ranging from cell biology, physiology and chemistry to computer science, and from patent law and medicine, to bioprotection and food production. It underpins many exciting and dynamic industries that are changing rapidly.

In the Bachelor of Science (Molecular Cell Biology) you will study the big questions of life:

• What are we made of?
• How do we work?
• Where did we come from?
• How are we and our world changing and adapting?
• How are organisms related and how does evolution work at a molecular level?
• Why do diseases or disorders develop and how can we treat them?
• How can we create better medicines and more efficient agriculture?
• How can we protect ourselves and our environment from disease?

Become equipped with the concepts, theories and facts you need to make sense of the world around you. Politics is about contestations for power and how we make decisions in society – who gets what, when and how – from the local community to the nation and internationally. Politics is concerned with the conflict of ideas and values. It has to do with who governs. It’s also to do with how and why decisions that affect all of us are made. That could vary from how much students should pay to study at university to whether the UN should sanction military interventions.
