Bachelor of Science (Evolutionary Biology)
B.Sc(EvoB)

| Location: | North Terrace Campus |
| Duration: | 3 years
(full-time or
part-time equivalent)
|
| Degree/Award: | Bachelor |
Evolutionary Biology involves the study of information contained in living plants and animals and their fossils to determine how they evolved. This knowledge assists in understanding bio-diversity and planning for its conservation. The program, which provides access to SA Museum staff and collections, is unique in South Australia, and is designed to deliver internationally competitive training.
After the first year level, students have the opportunity to pursue two majors: Palaeontology or Systematics and Molecular Evolution. Palaeontology focuses on fossil reconstruction, while Systematics and Molecular Evolution involves studies in evolutionary genetics and molecular biology. Students are exposed to high quality, cutting edge research and conduct a research project in their field of interest.
