The Graduate Program in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in conjunction with the ANU College of Science, offers the following degrees.

The three-four year program for this degree includes original research followed by the submission of a detailed report in the form of a thesis, which is examined externally. Candidates for this degree usually hold the degree of Bachelor of Science with Honours at the IIA grade or better, a Master of Biotechnology-Honours at IIA grade or better, or a Graduate Diploma in Science at Pass with Merit standard or better.

This two year program involves original research followed by the submission of a detailed report in the form of a thesis, which is examined externally. Candidates for this degree are usually Honours graduates at the IIA grade or better or those with a Graduate Diploma in Science at Pass with Merit standard or better.

The Graduate Diploma in Science is usually coordinated with the Honours program and can be designed for individual students with specific needs. This program provides graduates with the equivalent of one year’s specialist training to introduce students to modern experimental techniques and provide opportunities for library research. The course usually involves 10 months of full-time study.

This 10 month program is designed for domestic or international students who wish to update their skills in the biosciences or gain a post-graduate qualification at an Australian University. Study programs are individually designed to complement prior undergraduate study and develop advanced knowledge and skills.

The Master of Biotechnology with Honours, allows students who successfully complete the one year Master of Biotechnology (course work), to undertake a second year of study in which they complete a research project and submit a thesis which is examined externally. Admission to the Honours year requires a distinction average or better in the coursework program.
