Course description
During the last semester of the Masters of Quantitative Biology students will conduct a research project with an academic at UQ, or will work directly with an industry partner outside UQ. In this introductory intense course, students will learn how research and work with big data in Biology works. Students will learn the demands, expectations, ethics, and strategies employers apply to new recruits, and will learn how to maximise their chances of gaining working and academic opportunities in the future. This course is restricted to students enrolled in the Master of Quantitative Biology programs.
