微生物学涵盖了从免疫学到微生物遗传学和基因工程的各个领域，免疫学研究人体的免疫系统如何保护自己免受传染病的侵害。您的研究可以应用于医学，食品变质，环境污染控制和空间科学等领域。您将获得该学科及其在现实世界中的应用的科学基础的全面基础。作为毕业生，您将有资格获得澳大利亚微生物学会（ASM）的会员资格，该学会是该行业的国家科学和就业机构。
The Microbiology and Immunology major is distinguished by the embedding of the discipline's research strengths in virology, bacteriology and immunology. You'll be taught by the people conducting this cutting-edge research and you will discuss, apply and expand on the theory of your unit in weekly practical laboratory classes and structured tutorials.<br><br>Your studies will give you a thorough understanding of the role, importance and impact of microbes. Fundamental techniques are developed in cell and molecular biology such as culturing techniques for the isolation and characterisation of bacteria, the use of microscopy for the identification of microbes, and data recording. A strong emphasis is placed on applications in biomedicine and biotechnology.
