About this program
The University of Western Australia's Bachelor of Molecular Sciences degree. In Molecular Sciences you will learn about life at the molecular level. Starting with the building blocks of life (DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates) you work towards understanding the complex function of cells, tissues and organisms. Training in specialised technologies will equip you with the tools to answer the many challenges in the biological and/or health sciences. The degree serves as an excellent stepping stone into careers in the biosciences. Successful completion of the Molecular Life Sciences extended major allows you to progress to a Master of Biotechnology or other postgraduate studies in relevant bioscience disciplines. Alternatively, the successful completion of the Biochemistry of Nutrition extended major will enable you to pursue postgraduate studies in the Master of Biomedical Science or a related discipline.
