理学学士-微生物学

微生物学是对微观活生物体的研究：细菌，病毒，真菌，藻类和原生动物。这些生物会对生活的各个方面产生重大影响。由微生物引起的疾病是众所周知的，并且可以涉及病毒（例如流行性感冒和HIV），细菌（例如脑膜炎球菌，葡萄球菌，大肠杆菌）和原生动物（例如疟疾）。我们对这些生物的理解与控制和预防传染病直接相关。免疫学在理解人类和动物如何应对这些致病生物的挑战方面起着关键作用。近年来，微生物学的研究已经被诸如蛋白质组学，基因组学，生物信息学和基因工程等令人兴奋的新技术所革命。因此，微生物学是一门在基础科学和应用科学中极为重
The Bachelor of Science is a versatile degree that provides students with the optimal balance between a defined sequence of study and flexible course options. This innovative program has been redesigned to develop graduates with the key practical skills and interdisciplinary knowledge required to address today's global challenges. Students will study an extensive range of courses underpinned by cutting edge research and develop high levels of personal initiative, independent thinking and communication skills. Graduates will be qualified for employment opportunities in a wide array of science and non-science industries. Develop scientific knowledge and key skills with this flexible program, which gives you the freedom to find or follow your scientific passion to pursue your career goals. Explore and challenge your scientific thinking in this popular program, which offers one of the broadest selections of science disciplines in Australia. Our extensive range of specialist fields enables you to develop your interdisciplinary scientific knowledge and practical skills, while pursuing studies that suit your interests and ambitions. You also have the option to combine your scientific expertise with skills from a broad range of study areas, including languages, communication and design, to broaden your skill set or follow your interests beyond science. Some majors offer fieldwork opportunities in locations such as the Great Barrier Reef, Fraser Island, national parks and outback Queensland. Plus you'll have the chance to gain relevant, real-world experience through employability and work-integrated learning such as internships, industry placements, research projects and international study. <br><br>Study the diversity of microorganisms, the immune system, microbial virulence, disease states and the ways in which organisms respond to infection. Learn how vaccines protect animals and humans from infectious diseases and the latest advances in vaccine development from lecturers who are globally recognised experts. You'll focus on the key areas of immunology, virology, parasitology, environmental microbiology, microbial biotechnology and microbial genomics. Study bacterial, fungal and viral infections and apply your knowledge in weekly laboratory practicals. You will confidently use the specialist biomedical and molecular techniques required to diagnose and characterise infectious microbes and to develop new diagnostics. Microbiology is available as a minor and major.
