The Bachelor of Genetics (Honours) is a one-year research-focused degree that explores genetics across classical, molecular, population, and bioinformatics domains. Designed for graduates seeking advanced knowledge and research experience, it prepares students for professional careers or higher degree research in genetics.
Applicants must hold an AQF Level 7 Bachelor of Genetics degree or equivalent completed within the last two years, with a weighted average mark equivalent to ANU 70 percent calculated from 36 units of discipline-cognate courses (excluding 1000-level introductory courses). Admission is competitive and subject to supervisory capacity and approval from the relevant Delegated Authority within the College of Science. English language requirements must also be satisfied.
The program requires completion of 48 units through one of thirteen honours specialisations including Astronomy and Astrophysics, Biological Anthropology, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth and Marine Science, Environment, Mathematics, Medical Research, Physics, Physics of the Earth, Population Health, Science Communication, Science, or Statistics. The honours research project must be conducted in the field of Genetics with relevant approval. Students may pursue additional elective majors, minors, or specialisations upon meeting core program requirements.
ANU ranks among the world's finest universities with nearly 100,000 alumni in political, business, government, and academic leadership positions globally. The program exemplifies ANU's commitment to research-led education with honours specialisations that mirror the university's teaching and research strengths in genetics, providing students with access to world-class research facilities and experienced supervisors.
Graduates are prepared for professional careers in genetics research, academia, biotechnology, pharmaceutical development, and healthcare sectors. The honours qualification provides a pathway to higher degree research (Masters and PhD programs) and positions graduates for leadership roles in genetic research, clinical genetics, genetic counselling, and scientific innovation across government, industry, and academic institutions.
