The escalating global crisis in biodiversity loss is regarded by many as the most critical and pressing issue ever to face humanity. Ecology is the scientific study of interactions between organisms and their environments. This is central to understanding the diversity and organisation of life at the main recognised levels of genes, species and ecosystems. Conservation biology seeks to understand human impact on these natural patterns and processes. It also devises practical solutions to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem functions, such as how nutrients move through nature.

There is a strong emphasis in this major on applying the principles of ecology and conservation biology to real-life management issues, particularly in the conservation field. You will engage with the key principles of the discipline, which will underpin the exploration of the broad range of fascinating and vitally important biological questions that can be addressed by the study of biodiversity. You will be taught by high-quality researchers in advanced laboratory and field settings, using the latest methodologies, technologies and analyses.

In addition to the principles of ecology and conservation biology, you will develop your understanding of the role and relevance of ecology in society, in particularly in connection with the significant role of biodiversity in sustaining life on our planet.

Genetics is the study of genes, their structure, function, transmission and evolution, and encompasses a rich and diverse range of research topics.Genetics lies at the centre of biology because the same basic genetic principles apply to microbes, plants, animals and humans. The genetic code provides the blueprint for life and every aspect of biology, from development, physiology and biochemistry through to behaviour and ecology and diseases such as cancer, is ultimately controlled by the products of genes and their interaction with the physical environment.

Genomics, enabled by dramatic recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies and computing power, allows researchers to expand their vision from a few genes to all of the thousands of genes that govern the lives of each organism. The ability to compare the genomes of different species and assess variation between individuals of the same species is revolutionising our capacity to dissect evolutionary processes and map the complex gene networks that control every aspect of biology.

Genetics and genomics underpin many exciting areas of science such as biomedical science, biotechnology, conservation biology, and forensics.Graduates with a major in Genetics and genomics find employment in medical and agricultural research institutes, hospitals, government departments,schools and universities, patent firms, genetic counselling services,forensics laboratories, and biotechnology companies.

Zoology is the study of the diversity of animals – their evolution, form, function, behaviour and ecology. Animals are an integral part of natural systems and they also have a major impact on humans as parasites and as pests competing for our food. Zoologists investigate the interactions of animals with plants – which ultimately are the source of nutrients and shelter – and with microbes, which enable many animals to effectively utilise plants as food. Zoological study can be undertaken at the level of the whole animal, down to the level of cell biology and biochemical processes and their genetic control.

Your studies in Zoology will take place in state-of-the-art research and teaching labs, and in the semi-rural setting of the on-campus outdoor classroom – the Jock Marshall Reserve. You'll also take insightful field trips. You will learn the basics of animal evolution, diversity, structure and function, along with animal behaviour and the biology of Australian vertebrate animals. Further study on evolution, ecology, marine biology and environmental management will provide a broader understanding of the role and importance of animals in our world.
