This is a one semester course that aims to provide life science graduates with the ability to apply their prior knowledge within a biotechnology context. It also aims to be a pathway for students to progress into either the Graduate Diploma in Biotechnology or continue to research training by progressing into the Master of Biotechnology Studies. It aims to develop graduates who work effectively within team environments and improve their practice through critical reflection and learning. It ensures that students who elect not to complete the Masters degree are not disadvantaged and can gain a postgraduate certificate which can lead to careers in the biotechnology sector that are not research intensive such as sales and marketing, business development or communication. Learning outcomes On successful completion of the course, graduates should be able to: transfer and apply core scientific concepts to develop solutions in the biotechnology industry work in ways that are informed by knowledge of the legislative, regulatory, commercial, scientific and social environment synthesise information and communicate effectively, succinctly and sensitively with the scientific community, co-workers, government agencies, investors, the broad public and particular cultural and Indigenous communities apply judgement and initiative to propose and prioritise work strategies in consultation with co-workers to achieve timely completion of a project work in a multidisciplinary team and incorporate the views of all stakeholders including Indigenous groups, and use self-awareness and consultation to understand their role within a group and how they can best contribute to the group articulate a conscious understanding of their own values and demonstrate respect for the values of others and the ability to view an ethical dilemma from multiple view points inform society of impending developments and engage in a constructive debate incorporate understanding and awareness of Indigenous and other communities’ religious beliefs and culture into biotechnology practice.
