Outline Outline This specialisation provides an in-depth study in molecular genetics as an integral component of agriculture and environmental sciences including plant and animal breeding, plant pathology, evolution and plant conservation, which is becoming increasingly important in this field of study. The range of topics covered will provide skills that align with Curtin research centres in agriculture and environmental science. Effective problem-solving and decision-making skills will also be developed during the course of this specialisation.
What you'll learn - have demonstrated narrower knowledge and understanding in a further field of study that is typically at a level that, whilst supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that will be informed by knowledge of the forefront of Agricultural and Environmental Genetics, GC1
- can apply their narrower knowledge and understanding in a manner that indicates a professional approach to the field, and have competencies typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments (to both specialist and non-specialist audiences) and solving problems within Agricultural and Environmental Genetics including using digital technologies, GC2, GC3
- can gather and interpret relevant data within Agricultural and Environmental Genetics to inform judgements that include reflection on relevant social, scientific, or ethical issues, including being aware of the diversity of international perspectives associated with Agricultural and Environmental Genetics, and how these impact upon the practice of the field, GC4, GC5
- display a high standard of professional behaviour, including effective time management, both independently and as a team member, GC6
