Learn how advances in molecular analysis are changing the face of medicine, agriculture, horticulture, and ecology – and how you can help.

Molecular cell biology encompasses a hugely important area of study for the 21st century. It unifies many disciplines, ranging from cell biology, physiology and chemistry to computer science, and from patent law and medicine, to bioprotection and food production. It underpins many exciting and dynamic industries that are changing rapidly.

In the Bachelor of Science (Molecular Cell Biology) you will study the big questions of life:

• What are we made of?
• How do we work?
• Where did we come from?
• How are we and our world changing and adapting?
• How are organisms related and how does evolution work at a molecular level?
• Why do diseases or disorders develop and how can we treat them?
• How can we create better medicines and more efficient agriculture?
• How can we protect ourselves and our environment from disease?

The Postgraduate Diploma in Science and Technology (Biological Sciences) is a stepping stone to a research-based degree. Massey University’s Postgraduate Diploma in Science and Technology (Biological Sciences) gives you the opportunity to join the pathway to in-depth research at a master's level.

Join Massey’s unique Bachelor of Science (Microbiology) to explore and understand microbes in the environment, from the soil to the air, and in the human body.

Microbiology is an essential science that helps us understand the microbes in the environment, including microbes that dwell in the soil, air and water, in our food and inside people, animals and plants. Microbiology can impact on many different areas, such as:

• Agriculture, where rumen microbes are both essential to dairy and good industries, but also responsible for much of New Zealand’s carbon emission;
• Bioprotection, where efforts to preserve native birds (kiwi) and plants (kauri trees) depend on expert control of microbial pathogens
• Microbes have applications as model systems to answer questions beyond the immediate range of microbiology, such as the causes of cancer or birth defects;
• Green and bio-based technologies, where microbes help preserve our environment by producing bio-based materials for use in diagnostics and vaccines or by harnessing solar energy for fuel production.
