高级科学学士-环境生物技术

在医学和环境方面，人类一直在与微生物作战。本专业侧重于了解如何管理对我们所依赖的环境有影响的微生物（包括生物修复，矿山废物管理），以及使用微生物解决可能导致商业最终产品（例如生物燃料，药品，营养保健品或农业原料。具有新特性的微生物种类繁多，需要具有专业背景的新型科学家对这些栖息地进行生物勘探并确定哪些微生物可用于解决环境挑战。本专业侧重于环境生物技术的工业应用。学生将学习生物信息学，微生物生态学和基础科学方面的高级技能，为在不断发展的生物技术领域从事令人兴奋的职业做好准备，并特别关注环境应用和不断变化的地
The Bachelor of Advanced Science is designed specifically to develop student learning using an inquiry-oriented and research-immersion model. Students engage in a number of research project subjects based on their chosen major, which include advanced materials and data science, environmental biotechnology, infection and immunity, pharmaceutical sciences, and pre-medicine. Students are placed with world-leading research scientists and learn 'on the job', actively mentored in research teams learning theory through real-time application and solving real-world problems. More than just a work placement, this course is a holistic learning experience designed to train the next generation of scientists.<br><br>Humans are in a constant battle with microbes, both medically and environmentally. This major focuses on understanding how to manage microbes that impact upon the environments that we depend upon (including bioremediation, mine waste management), as well as using microbes to solve problems that can lead to commercial end products such as biofuels, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals or agricultural feedstocks. The diversity of microbes with novel traits is immense, a new style of scientist with a specialist background is needed to bioprospect these habitats and identify which microbes can be used to solve environmental challenges. This major focuses on industrial applications of environmental biotechnology. Students develop advanced skills in bioinformatics, microbial ecology, as well as the fundamental sciences to prepare them for an exciting career in the ever expanding field of biotechnology, having a specific focus on environmental applications and solutions to the changing globe.
