B.Sc. (Molecular Biotechnology) honours graduate :
Kristin Miller
“Studying science at university is fantastic for learning about new fields. In high school, the chemistry and biology taught is very general. The options at university are so broad you have the opportunity to study something you’re really interested in”, says Kristin Miller.
Kristin Miller graduated with a Bachelor of Science (Molecular Biotechnology) degree with honours in 2004. After completing an honours degree she quickly obtained work for the Sydney Catchment Authority where Kristin helped keep Sydney’s water supply safe from outbreaks of cryptosporidium by identifying microorganisms contaminating Sydney’s water catchment areas. “I got my job because my honours research was in a related microbiology area and I had the molecular biotechnology background".
“An advantage of the Bachelor of Science (Molecular Biotechnology) degree is your exposure to the business side of science. This really suits someone who doesn’t want to go into research, but still wants a science-related position, for example managing clinical trials for drug development.”
