In the 1960s we deciphered life’s genetic codebook. Continual advances are being made, as we work to unravel the complexities of genetics. Today we have the tools to edit the code to cure disease or perhaps feed the world. Biotechnology, stem cell engineering, gene therapy – the applications are endless.

By majoring in genetics you will develop a toolkit of skills to solve complex genetic problems across humans, animals and plants. You will:

• build a broad knowledge base by covering areas like how genes function, genetic linkage, gene expression and the power of genetic analysis
• learn directly from world-class researchers
• learn current skills in managing genome sequences and other large data sets
• apply your knowledge of genetic principles and techniques to challenges in developmental biology, human disease, ecology, conservation biology, evolutionary biology and more.

There is high demand for professionals in this emerging global sector. This major prepares you for employment in areas including the pharmaceutical industry, medical or research laboratories, hospitals, private industries, the biotechnology industry, and forensic science.

Geology is the study of planet Earth. It investigates the processes and forces that act on it and within it. Geology tells the story of our planet’s past, how it was formed and how it has developed through deep time; how life began and how many of our mineral and energy resources were formed and are stored. Geology can unlock future predictions of climate change, earthquake and volcanic hazards and unknown sources of energy. Whilst geological processes might be slow moving, geology is an area of science that is changing rapidly. New developments in the theory of plate tectonics (how the Earth’s crust moves) and real-world applications make it an exciting area to study and work in.

A Geology major could lead you into a variety of careers; consulting mining or petroleum companies; consulting for federal or state government geological surveys and environment departments; managing and predicting earthquake hazards; advising the agricultural sector on both underlying geology and environmental hazards; exploring the impact of mining operations on groundwater and surface environmental processes; or, advising on these economic viability of a particular mining project in the securities industry. You might even look skywards and become a space exploration geologist who unravels the geologic history of Mars or Titan.

Microbiology is the study of bacteria, viruses and parasites. These micro-organisms contribute to suffering and death on a worldwide scale, but they are also essential for our health and well-being and form the cornerstone of modern biotechnology. Immunology is the study of the immune system. The mammalian immune system is an incredibly complex network of cells, tissues and organs that protects us from disease-causing micro-organisms, but is also capable of causing disease. The interaction between micro-organisms and the immune system is key to maintaining a healthy life.

There is high demand for professionals in this growing global sector. This major prepares you for employment in areas including medical or research laboratories the pharmaceutical industry, hospitals, the biotechnology industry, forensic science and the government sector. As a microbiology and Immunology graduate you will also be well equipped for a postgraduate career in biomedical research.

Plants are essential to the future of our world. Understanding the biology of plants can help solve real-world problems such as how climate change impacts plant growth and how to produce healthier foods for the future. Plant biologists use a range of skills across many sciences to understand plant physiology, reproduction, biochemistry, energy use and adaptation to environment. A major in plant biology will accelerate you into a diverse range of career pathways. You could research and develop new ways to use plants from industrial applications such as biofuels, identify novel nutritious plant alternatives, and you may even identify innovative drugs and therapies that are derived from plants.
