The course distinguishes itself by providing grounding in business principles, and in issues relating to the biotechnology industry, such as ethics, intellectual property, quality control, regulatory issues and law.Honours consisted of a research project with additional coursework that included a group-based project management scenario requiring the creation of an activity program for VCE students in the nearby Ashwood College.
