Overview

Biology graduates work in a wide range of jobs throughout the public and private sectors, and in a range of environments including offices, laboratories, farms, fields, factories, cities, and forests.

Laboratory-based careers may include laboratory management, basic research, forensic microbiology, or molecular genetics. Farm and field-based work could entail animal management, plant breeding, entomology, marine biology, or pest and disease management. Industrial work might involve biotechnology to produce food, fuel, or pharmaceuticals. Other careers could involve science writing, teaching, policy development, or the commercialisation and management of biological products and processes.

Professional recognition

Professional recognition can be achieved through membership of an appropriate scientific society, such as the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the Ecological Society of Australia, the Australian Society of Plant Scientists, the Australian Society of Microbiology and many more.

Pathways to further study

The QUT Bachelor of Science is located at Level 7 of the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). Eligible graduates may continue their studies with an additional honours year in ST10 Bachelor of Science (Honours).

Study costs

Domestic students may need to pay the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).

QUT You

You may be required to complete QUT You units in your course – find out more about QUT You.

Course Structures

To meet the course requirements of the Bachelor of Science, you must complete a total of 288 credit points.

For students commencing from 2024, the degree is arranged as follows:

  • Core units - 60 credit points
  • A Major – 120 credit points
  • QUT You - 24 credit points
  • Complementary studies - 84 credit points, made up of:
        - a second major (84 credit points), or

Enrolment information

MZB104 Quantitative Methods / MZB105 Introduction to Calculus
Unit selection guide

If you have this unit option on your study plan, you have a choice between these units. Here is the guidance on which of the units to select -

  • if you intend to undertake the Biological Sciences or Environmental Science major or Chemistry major, MZB104 is recommended for these majors
  • if you intend to undertake the Physics major, MZB105 is recommended for this major
  • if you intend to undertake the Climate Science or Earth Science major, you can choose either unit, but be sure to consider your 2nd major in this decision.

  For students that have completed MXB100 or MZB125, or have MXB100 core to their primary major e.g. Chemistry, will need to select MZB104

SCB300 Professional Practice

For Work Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunities, SCB300 Professional Practice unit is available for selection. Save an elective to ensure study plan scope (SCB300 is available for selection in the complementary studies - unit options; and in the core unit option space (for student who commenced the course prior to 2024)). Please refer to the Faculty of Science – Student Information: Work Placement Canvas page for further information and pre-enrolment requirements.
