Course DesignThe Bachelor of BiotechnologyInnovation, a degree with Honours, wasthe first degree of its type in Australia andaims to provide highly trained andmotivated graduates skilled in the scienceand business and biotechnology.Graduates undertake the same basic andadvanced biotechnology science asstudents in other science-based courses,gaining requisite theoretical and practicalskills. In this course, however, basic andadvanced business units are undertakenhighlighting entrepreneurial skills andbiotechnology commercialisation.Integration and synthesis of the disparatedisciplines is an essential component ofthe course.

Unique to the course is the StudentBioEnterprise Scheme, a proactiveproject-based learning exercise promotingthe integration of theory and practice inbusiness and science. Students formcompanies and operate in the companyenvironment over the entire duration oftheir course. Companies inventbiotechnology-oriented products orprocesses and formulate strategies tobring them from laboratory to themarketplace under the guidance ofindustry and academic mentors. Studentshave many opportunities to network withindustry through the StudentBioEnterprise Scheme and numerousAusbiotech functions, events andconferences. Companies can alsoundertake industry-based or consultancyprojects with an industry partner in thefinal year of the course.

Course OverviewThis double degree gives you theopportunity to use your problem-solvingskills to develop realistic games in acompetitive gaming environment. Adecade ago, people probably wouldn’thave noticed if the cape the game herowas wearing didn’t flap in the wind as heran, or that the boxes in the corner of theroom of the dungeon didn’t fall over whenthey are run into in a fight. Nowadays,serious gamers notice and demand thistype of realism in their virtual worlds. Thisis where your maths and problem-solvingcapabilities come into play. Complexformulae are used in games design tocreate realistic scenes, and knowledge ofmathematics will certainly aid yourunderstanding.
