The ANU Master of Biological Sciences (Advanced) is a flexible program that can be tailored to your needs. Our program allows you to specialise in a particular area of biology such as biomedical sciences, ecology and evolution, genetics, and plant sciences. Courses in some areas require a background in chemistry. Alternatively you may utilise the program to provide a broad overview of biological sciences today.

Upon successful completion, students will have the skills and knowledge to: demonstrate high level knowledge in the area of their study; apply their knowledge in biological sciences to new problems; interpret, synthesize and critically analyse published literature of relevance to biological sciences; demonstrate basic and complex laboratory skills that are commonly used in biological sciences research; perform experimental work, interpret and analyse results, write reports and collate data into a thesis; present own research work to peers and research scientists; clearly communicate theory and results in both written and oral formats.
