On 9 September 1985 the School of Biotechnology was redesignated the Department of Biotechnology and moved to the newly created School of Biological Technologies within the Faculty of Applied Science with effect from 1 January 1986 (resolution 85/96). On 11 July 1988 the School of Biological Technologies was renamed the School of Applied Bioscience (Council resolution 88/85). At the 2 December 1996 meeting of Council the Faculty of Applied Science was disestablished effective 1 July 1997 (resolution CL96/88/4). As a result, from this date the School of Applied Bioscience, including the Department of Biotechnology, was transferred to the Faculty of Life Sciences. On 18 Jun, 2001 Council resolved to disestablish the Faculty of Life Sciences and create a new single model Faculty of Science effective from 1 July, 2001- including the Department of Biotechnology within the School of Applied Bioscience (resolution CL001/49). On 8 October 2001 Council approved the disestablishment of the School of Applied Bioscience, including the Department of Biotechnology, in order to form a School of Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences effective from 1 January 2002 (resolution CL001/84).

This series contains the booklet / leaflet collection of the Biotechnology and Biopressing Engineering Student Society (BABESOC) / Student Society for Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences (BABSOC). The material consists of printed documents outlining the activities of the Society. "The Biotechnology and Bioprocessing Engineering student society (BABESOC) was originally founded in 1996 in the then Department of Biotechnology within the Faculty of Life Sciences. In 2001, there was a major restructure where Life Sciences was merged with the Faculty of Applied Science to form the Faculty of Science. Following this merger, a new School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences (BABS) was established from the previous Department of Biotechnology School of Biochemistry, and School of Microbiology and Immunology. To cater for the larger student cohorts, the society was rebadged as BABSOC to include all undergraduate and postgraduate students currently studying a BABS taught course."

The School of Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences was formed by Council on 8 October 2001 within the Faculty of Science effective from 1 January 2002 as a result of the disestablishment of the former schools of Biochemistry & Molecular Genetics and Microbiology & Immunology, as well as the Department of Biotechnology (resolution CL001/84). The first head of school was Professor Peter Little. In 2007 the Head of School of Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences was Professor Pauline Doran.

On 8 July 1968 Council approved the creation of the Faculty of Biological Science effective from 1 July 1968 (resolution 68/108). At the same time the Department of Biochemical Engineering was redesignated the School of Biological Technology and became one of the first six schools within the new faculty. On 4 February 1980 Council changed the name of the school to the School of Biotechnology (resolution 80/14). On 9 September 1985 the school was redesignated the Department of Biotechnology and moved to the newly created School of Biological Technologies within the Faculty of Applied Science with effect from 1 January 1986 (resolution 85/96).

The Bioengineering Centre was established at the 18 January 1989 meeting of the Vice-Chancellor's Advisory Committee. It was a unit created within the Department of Biotechnology in the Faculty of Applied Science and its aim was to develop and coordinate research and continuing education activities in the multidisciplinary areas of bioengineering and recombinant-DNA technology (V752). Professor Peter Gray was appointed as the Centre's first Director. At the 2 December 1996 meeting of Council the Faculty of Applied Science was disestablished effective 1 July 1997 (resolution CL96/88/4). As a result, from this date the Department of Biotechnology, including the Bioengineering Centre, was transferred to the Faculty of Life Sciences. On 18 June, 2001 Council resolved to disestablish the Faculty of Science & Technology and create a new single model Faculty of Science effective from 1 July, 2001, including the Bioengineering Centre (resolution CL001/49). On 8 October 2001 Council approved the disestablishment of the School of Applied Bioscience, including the Department of Biotechnology, in order to form a School of Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences effective from 1 January 2002 (resolution CL001/84). As a result the Bioengineering Centre was transferred to this newly established school. On the 3 October 2006 the Academic Board noted the disestablishment of the Bioengineering Centre effective from 31 December 2006 (AB06/125). Controlling Organisation: UNSW - 18/01/1989-31/12/2006
