Harness the power of programming, statistics, and mathematics to solve problems in biology.

In the Graduate Diploma of Quantitative Biology, you will learn programming, statistical and mathematical modelling, machine-learning, high-performance computing, data visualization and communication skills. 

You will also learn how to apply these tools to basic and applied biological problems from bio-molecular to ecosystem levels. 

In your first semester, you will have the opportunity to take foundational courses to improve your basic understanding of biology and/or specific quantitative skills, as necessary. 

Following this, in your second semester you will take up to 4 core courses in quantitative biology, with course selection tailored to your interests and needs. 

Program highlights

• Develop a unique skillset in Quantitative Biology that is increasingly sought after in commercial, government and academic sectors.
• Learn directly from researchers who develop and apply quantitative approaches to solve biological problems in areas as diverse as conservation, human health, and agriculture.
• Take advantage of intensive and/or flexible teaching modes.
