This dual degree combines the practical and theoretical requirements of a professional engineering qualification with the exciting new commercialisation aspects of the growing biotechnology industry. You'll gain advanced skills in established and emerging engineering disciplines and combine life sciences theory, specialised practical training and entrepreneurial thinking. UQ's respected Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program is one of the most comprehensive in Australia for design, technology and innovation. Within this program you can specialise in chemical engineering. In the Bachelor of Biotechnology, youll develop the skills and knowledge needed to translate innovative scientific ideas into commercially viable solutions. Deepen your understanding of the key issues within biotechnology such as intellectual property, regulatory compliance, quality assurance and quality control. Learn to apply quality management systems in biotechnology so that products and technologies are safe and reproducible. Youll also learn how to assess the market potential and financial viability of new products or technical services such as vaccines, diagnostics, biopharmaceutical drugs, transgenic plants or innovations in stem cell therapy. With a dual qualification in engineering and biotechnology, you'll be equipped for a wide variety of career opportunities in Australia's thriving life sciences sector where you can contribute to pioneering new frontiers in health, agriculture, science, engineering, and beyond. <br><br>Nanotechnology is the ability to manipulate individual atoms, molecules and groups of molecules to form new chemical or particle structures needed for the development of novel medicines, materials or technologies. You will combine theory and practice to explore how nanotechnology underpins innovations in modern medicine, technology and renewable energy. Learn insights from educators who are at the frontier of emerging research fields in biotechnology. Develop a comprehensive understanding of organic and inorganic chemistry alongside aspects of microbiology, biochemistry and pharmacology. Access world-class laboratory, research and computer facilities to gain hands-on experience in gene editing, recombinant DNA technology, bioinformatics and genomics. This extended major is accredited by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute for the educational relevance of its chemistry content.
