微生物学教给我们一些生命形式，这些生命形式太小，无法用肉眼看到。它们对地球上的生命至关重要，但也可能引起巨大的问题，例如传染病原，植物病原体，食物，水和生物污物的污染物。微生物学专业向学生介绍了微生物世界中功能和形式的巨大多样性。您将探索微生物对其他生命形式的影响，并从个人，种群和生态系统的角度审视微生物在健康和疾病中的作用，尤其是它们在人类，动物和环境的相互关系中的地位。您将研究微生物用于生产产品和补救污染环境的方法，并在分子水平上探索微生物遗传学和微生物生命，特别着重于我们高级部门的微生物学研究。
With a solid foundation in science plus a two-year master's degree, the five-year Bachelor of Science and Master of Nutrition and Dietetics provides the training you need to launch straight into a career in nutrition and dietetics. For the first time ever, there are more overfed people in the world than underfed people. Statistics such as these are driving our need to train professionals who can help create healthier communities. Your degree will give you access to eminent dietitians and scientists at the cutting edge of dietetics, nutrition and medical research and practice. Join the most highly regarded and longest running program in nutrition and dietetics in Australia (50 years in 2017). Our program is research-driven to ensure you gain exposure to the latest developments and advances in evidence-based dietetics, the science of nutrition, and community and public health nutrition. Our nutrition science course is distinct among Australian universities: we offer a strong life sciences approach, allowing you to pursue postgraduate research in nutrition or diversify to include specialisations in both human and animal nutrition. During the Bachelor of Science, you will study biochemistry, molecular biology and human physiology, which are necessary prerequisites for the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics. You will also complete a major in nutrition science. In the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics, your first year will consist of a series of lectures, tutorials and practical classes introducing you to nutritional science, clinical nutrition and dietetics, public health nutrition and more. In your second year, you will participate in hands-on clinical training, and complete a nutrition research project. You will graduate with a solid knowledge of nutritional science and the expertise to pursue a career as a dietitian in a range of professional settings, in nutrition and nutritional research, and other health-related disciplines.Microbiology teaches us about life forms that are too small to see with the naked eye. They are vital for life on Earth but can also cause huge problems as infectious disease agents, plant pathogens, contaminants of food and water and biofoulers. A major in Microbiology introduces you to this tremendous diversity of function and form in the microbial world. You explore the impact of microbes on other life forms, look at their role in health and disease at the level of individuals, populations and ecosystems, and in particular their place in the nexus of human, animal and environmental inter-relationships. You will investigate ways in which microbes are used to manufacture products and remediate polluted environments and explore microbial genetics and microbial life at the molecular level, with a particular emphasis on current research in Microbiology in our 3000-level units. By progressing through the major students will learn advanced concepts and methods including molecular microbiology, systems biology, genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics, advanced microscopy techniques, genetic manipulation, microbial evolution, and the use of antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance.
