Programs of University of Wollongong

Bachelor of Science (Atmospheric Science)

Wollongong , Australia

Progress in atmospheric science relies heavily on the analysis of data produced by satellite-borne and other types of instruments designed by physicists. Atmospheric scientists need a broad scientific basis as well as experience in computing. With the growing field of climate science and increasing demand for tools and instruments to predict and monitor the environment, atmospheric scientists use their broad range of skills to contribute toward innovations in design and prototyping of instruments, and the analysis and interpretation of data.

Bachelor of Science (Biological Sciences)

University of Wollongong

Wollongong , Australia

Biology is the study of living things. Biologists study organic molecules, cells, tissues, individual organisms, populations, and communities. Biologists use the latest scientific knowledge, tools and techniques in both laboratory and outdoor settings to develop solutions across the areas of biodiversity, conservation, ecology, evolution, genetics, medical research, and molecular biology. The Bachelor of Science (Biological Sciences) incorporates field and laboratory studies in appropriate subjects at all levels and takes advantage of UOW's modern laboratories, and the superb local marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments on the South Coast and inland regions.

Bachelor of Science (Biomolecular Physics)

University of Wollongong

Wollongong , Australia

This degree will excite and challenge students with an aptitude for physics and mathematics, and an interest in biology and chemistry. Biomolecular Science helps us understand the machinery of human cells and how diseases work. Biomolecular physicists work closely with other scientists with an aim to develop a better understanding of diseases and improve treatment, diagnosis and recovery in a range of medical conditions. They seek to develop new methods and technology to assist with better food processing and preservation. Biomolecular physicists are integrated across a wide range of careers, including commercial bio-medicine, instrumentation and biotech companies (e.g. Sigma and Life Technologies). They assist in developing molecular diagnostic instrumentation for government and institutional research laboratories. They can also assist beamline scientists at National Research Facilities (e.g. ANSTO and the Australian Synchrotron).

Bachelor of Science (Human Geography)

University of Wollongong

Wollongong , Australia

Human Geography is the study of people and place. Human Geographers examine social and environmental problems in a holistic way, and apply spatial thinking to help resolve social conflicts and environmental crises. At UOW, Human Geographers investigate solutions to issues around climate change, economic development, environmental management, population and cultural change, and urban, rural and regional planning.

Bachelor of Science (Materials)

University of Wollongong

Wollongong , Australia

Materials transform our world from the optical fibres used in telecommunications, the silicon used in microchips, to the nanotechnologies changing our medical care. Materials science is about how we apply science in designing and testing new materials, how we explore the physics and chemistry of materials, and how we can improve the existing materials on which our societies and industries are built.

Bachelor of Science (Medical Biotechnology)

University of Wollongong

Wollongong , Australia

Medical Biotechnology is the application of exciting advances in molecular and cell biology to medicine, agriculture, and the environment. Through modern technologies such as genetic engineering, biotechnology is shaping diverse aspects of medicine (cancer, vaccines, therapy and diagnosis of genetic diseases), food production (transgenic plants), and industry (bioremediation). Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) skills in Australia is becoming a fast-growing area creating new and increased job prospects. The Bachelor of Science (Medical Biotechnology) at UOW encompasses the exciting and rapidly evolving fields of proteomics, genetic engineering, and advanced techniques in molecular analysis. A new generation of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, hormones, and anti-inflammatory agents are being developed using these technologies. This degree will provide you with the tools and knowledge to work in biomedical science research and the biotechnology industry.
