Postgraduate Courses

SymbioticA offers a Master of Science (Biological Arts) and two Art and Biology undergraduate elective units for local, national and international students from various disciplines and universities.

Master of Science (Biological Arts) 51570_______________________________________________
The Alternative MBA is designed for art practitioners, scientists, and humanities scholars who wish to engage with creative bioresearch. The course focuses on recent advances in the Life Sciences, both in theory and practice. It requires students to take both pre-existing Art & Science units and will consist of an equal content/discourse/methodology from the two disciplines.

The laboratories will focus on learning scientific techniques in a meaningful way for both the artist and scientist and using these techniques for creative output in order to create a true hybrid unit of Art and Science that is multidisciplinary in nature as well as in title. Students who have previously majored in arts will be required to enrol in science units and science graduates will be required to enrol in art units. Students would then participate together in the SymbioticA units.

The Programme is structured so that students may exit after one semester with a Graduate Certificate or two semesters with a Graduate Diploma.
