Learner goals and capabilities

The intent of work placement is for participants to gain work experience at a level commensurate with Master in Biotechnology. A student could work individually or in teams undertaking biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, genomics, bioinformatics or related biotechnology projects. Student(s) could either assist in developing new assays or testing more samples with an existing assay.


All placements need to be submitted through our internal form:
