Organisation profile
Welcome to the ANU Research School of Biology (RSB). Here at RSB we carry out research, research training (MPhil and PhD), undergraduate and coursework Masters teaching in a wide range of biological and biomedical sciences.
Research in the School is carried out in three Divisions, Biomedical Science & Biochemistry; Ecology & Evolution and Plant Sciences.
The School oversees the ANU Biology curriculum, offering a diverse range of courses that form part of both undergraduate, Honours and graduate coursework Masters degrees. The education program is 'research-led' and features teaching contributions from leading scientists from a wide range of biological and biomedical disciplines. Students have opportunities to work in state-of-the-art research laboratories in the School, both as part of their degrees and as Summer Scholars.
