Imagine using living organisms to produce novel and improved products, such as creating a new vaccine or cancer drug that will save millions of lives.
When you study a Bachelor of Biotechnology, you will help to develop technologies that improve our communities and the health of our planet. You might be the researcher that develops a super crop that can survive harsh climates and feed the hungry. The products of biotechnology are all around us in all aspects of our everyday lives, and with the recent development of the Covid-19 vaccines, biotechnology has reached new prominence. As a biotechnologist you can be right at the forefront of scientific development and the next big discovery.
Biotechnology harnesses the natural biochemical and genetic processes of living organisms to benefit the modern world. Right now, biotechnology is applied in genetic engineering, human health, pharmaceuticals, plant and animal agriculture, conservation, food production, renewable fuel development and waste management. The diversity of jobs available in the biotechnology industry continues to increase rapidly and this trend will continue throughout the 21st Century.
The following list provides some examples of job titles that may be available to Biotechnology graduates. Some of these jobs will depend on the amount and level of study, level of experience, the combination of other majors and electives studied. Some jobs below may also require further study.
