This major will provide you with a broad understanding of cells and their development, as well
as the application of this knowledge to technologies to improve the human condition. It will also
provide an awareness of how research in this field impacts on society. You will deal with ethical
issues such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF), reproductive/therapeutic cloning and genetically
manipulated foods and crops. Specialisations available in this major include: Reproduction and
Development, Animal Cell Biology, and Plant Cell Biology and Development.
What careers can this major lead to?
Graduates with a major in Cell and Developmental Biology can pursue career paths in research
or diagnostic laboratories, biotechnology, government agencies, agriculture, journalism and the
medico-legal area.
What graduate courses does Cell and Developmental Biology lead to?
Science graduates are well-placed to apply for:
•
•
•
Professionally focused graduate degrees in the sciences and technology, including
biotechnology, environmental systems, informatics, management science, and
nanotechnology
Graduate degrees preparing for a wide range of professions including engineering, law,
medicine and other health sciences, and teaching
Masters and Honours pathways to research higher degrees in the sciences and
technology within the Melbourne Graduate School of Science, Graduate School of
Humanities and Social Sciences, Melbourne School of Engineering, Melbourne School
of Land and Environment, and the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences.
