Acquire high-level knowledge and develop practical skills relevant to modern molecular biology research or industry practice.

With UQ's two year Master of Molecular Biology program, you can build practical skills as you experience laboratory techniques such as electrophoresis, polymerase chain reaction, endonuclease mapping, fluorescent reporters and expression vectors.

You'll develop an advanced knowledge of the structure and function of genes and the proteins they encode. Your study will cover genome sequencing, recombinant DNA technology and macromolecular structure determination. Through laboratory practicals, workshops, projects and directed study, you'll receive training in bioinformatics, molecular genetics, biomolecular structure and function, and immunology.

You'll also gain practical insights and crucial research skills by undertaking a research-focused internship or project with our industry partners. Plus you'll graduate equipped with high-level knowledge and skills relevant to modern molecular biology research or industry practice.

Postgraduate study can take you anywhere. Here are some of the careers you could be on your way to:

• Analytical biochemist
• Genetic pathologist
• Immunologist
• Biotechnologist
• Environmental biologist
• Bioinformatician
• Pharmaceutical scientist
• Microbiologist
• Transgenic technologist
• Virologist
