Science Precinct Tour
If you would like to take a closer look and see where you could be studying next year, this is a great chance to visit our brilliant science facilities and student spaces. Get a feel for campus life and have a chat with some of our science students and staff. Also, if you need some course advice we can help with that as well.
Tours will be running again in September and December 2018
Cost: FREE
Biology Genetics Techniques Workshop
This half day course covers the core principles of genetics and helps students develop skills in applying advanced genetic tools and techniques required for analysing and interpreting data. These are core concepts in VCE Bio Unit 4 (study area 1 and 2) and may put some of the theory taught in the classroom into context with real life experience. Attendees will undertake gel electrophoresis and explore DNA sequencing and profiling to identify species and practise the investigative protocols used by professional conservation geneticists. Students will consider how captive breeding and translocation programs influence evolutionary processes such as gene flow, in the context of wildlife conservation and evaluate evidence from phylogenies to explore and interpret evolutionary relationships that lead to biological change. All resources supplied.
From July 16th, 2018 To July 20th, 2018Morning session: 9am - 12pmAfternoon session: 1pm - 4pm
Cost: $30 per student with 50 students per session.
