This dual degree combines the practical and theoretical requirements of a professional engineering qualification with the exciting new commercialisation aspects of the growing biotechnology industry. You'll gain advanced skills in established and emerging engineering disciplines and combine life sciences theory, specialised practical training and entrepreneurial thinking. UQ's respected Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program is one of the most comprehensive in Australia for design, technology and innovation. Within this program you can specialise in chemical engineering. In the Bachelor of Biotechnology, youll develop the skills and knowledge needed to translate innovative scientific ideas into commercially viable solutions. Deepen your understanding of the key issues within biotechnology such as intellectual property, regulatory compliance, quality assurance and quality control. Learn to apply quality management systems in biotechnology so that products and technologies are safe and reproducible. Youll also learn how to assess the market potential and financial viability of new products or technical services such as vaccines, diagnostics, biopharmaceutical drugs, transgenic plants or innovations in stem cell therapy. With a dual qualification in engineering and biotechnology, you'll be equipped for a wide variety of career opportunities in Australia's thriving life sciences sector where you can contribute to pioneering new frontiers in health, agriculture, science, engineering, and beyond.<br> <br>Synthetic Biology and Industrial Biotechnology is transforming how we develop new medicines, enhance human nutrition and create a more sustainable world. It is a growing field of science that applies engineering design principles to applications in chemistry, bioinformatics and genetics to create or modify biological processes in living organisms to develop new innovations across agriculture, health, energy production and environmental management. Under the guidance of leading biotechnology educators, you will study all aspects of the product development process. You will be equipped to translate discoveries from the laboratory into the development of new products, technologies or research methodologies implemented across the globe.
