Bachelor of Biotechnology Dual Program Changes
Key Changes
From Semester 1 2021, the revised Bachelor of Biotechnology (BBiotech) component of the dual program, will be offered as a 3-year program, instead of a 4-year with Honours embedded (included) program. Due to the significant change to the structure of the program, there is now a new program code:
| Program Type | Program Code |
|---|---|
|
Current program with Honours embedded (included) in BBiotech component Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Biotechnology (Honours) |
2348 |
|
Revised program with 3-year BBiotech component Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Biotechnology |
2486 |
Please refer to the revised program for details of what is available to study in the program from Semester 1 2021.
The table below provides a summary of the changes to the Bachelor of Biotechnology (BBiotech) component.

Next Steps
Changing Programs
You may choose to continue with your current study plan or transfer to the revised program.
There have been a number of legislative changes to fees that will come into effect from 1 January 2021 that affect all program changes made via QTAC and mySI-net. This includes changing from a dual program to a single program when the single program forms part of the dual. You can find more information on my.UQ.
Please ensure that you understand the changes, consider your individual circumstances and seek individual advice as required before making a decision to change.
If you decide to change to the revised dual program, you will need to submit a Program Change Request through mySi-net by 12 February 2021 (program change requests opened on 4 December 2020).
