西澳大利亚州是世界上陆地和海洋生物多样性的热点地区之一。西澳大利亚州大约有13,000种植物，并且一直在被发现。在该州内发现了澳大利亚近70％的哺乳动物，在其他任何地方都找不到25种。在世界上其他任何地方都找不到我们多达80％的鱼类和无脊椎动物。这种生物多样性意味着西澳是研究从生态系统到分子的各个组织层次上的生物科学的理想场所。生物科学硕士课程将使学生了解生物体的分子进化，结构，生理学，繁殖，行为和生态学，以及将这些知识应用于自然系统及其所支持物种的管理的技能。保护生物学专业专注于动植物及其生态系统的管理
The Master of Biological Science will developed advanced understanding of the evolution, diversity, physiology, reproduction, behaviour and ecology of plants and animals, and the skills to apply this knowledge to the management of natural systems and the species they support.<br><br>Western Australia is a terrestrial biodiversity hot-spot, offering exceptional opportunities to study unique plants and animals. You'll gain an advanced understanding of their ecology, evolution, genetics, reproduction and behaviour, and will develop high-level skills in data analysis. You also have the opportunity to design, execute, analyse and report on field and/or laboratory-based projects, supported by world-class researchers.<br><br>When you graduate from the Master of Biological Science you will have the ability to integrate your advanced knowledge of species biology and ecology to understand the threats species face, including their vulnerability to rapid environmental change.<br><br>You'll possess communication and technical skills to justify and interpret methodologies, conclusions and professional decisions to specialist and non-specialist audiences. You'll become a broad thinker who can critically assess advanced research in your discipline and integrate this into practical solutions or new research questions. You'll contribute to group-led research, as can plan and execute your own substantial research project focused on plants, animals, or ecosystems.
