There is much scope to tailor the course to specific interests in medical, plant/agricultural or chemical biotechnology. ANU is central to many research institutes developing leading-edge applications of biotechnology which gives students the opportunity to be taught by world class researchers and spend time in a research laboratory. The degree leads to careers in government regulatory bodies involved with health, agriculture, food and the environment, as well as positions in hospitals, food and pharmaceutical industries, and opportunities in research.
