they dont do pracs for virology so i would say no and looking at this unit

https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2011/MIIM30013

it doesnt look like it, its mainly molecular techniques

and also Russ isn't doing virology next year

so ... come to Monash  :P

hmm not sure if i should say this cause this came from a third party source and i can't verify it but she basically told me that her friends at melbourne said science is shit there and so much better at monash (its her words not mine!)

So is virology completely separate to that course or is it integral?
