Bachelor of Biotechnology
This degree is a four year professional qualification awarded
either with or without Honours. Successful completion of prescribed
subjects (set out in the following course structure) with
a total of at least 192 credit points is necessary for the
award of either the pass or honours degree.
Students achieving the required entry HSC UAI ranking will
be allowed to enrol in the degree program for which only 25
places are available. Other students may be permitted to enter
the program at the end of subsequent years of study if they
have obtained a suitably high standard in designated subjects
at this University or similar subjects at other Institutions.

*Distinction average is required for entry.
Please note: Students must satisfactorily complete at least 144
credit points before proceeding to enrol in fourth year subjects.
In addition, satisfactory performance must be achieved (an average
of 65% or greater in 300-level Biological Sciences, Chemistry and
Biomedical Science subjects) for entry into the 4th year of the
Bachelor of Biotechnology degree. Students with an average below
65% in 300-level Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Biomedical Science
subjects may only progress into the 4th year of the Bachelor of
Biotechnology with the approval of the Head of the Department of
Biological Sciences. Students who do not gain entry into the 4th
year of the Bachelor of Biotechnology degree will normally be required
to transfer into the Bachelor of Science (Biotechnology) degree.
