MBiolSci Biological Sciences (Genetics)
Course Overview
This four-year MBiolSci in Genetics provides a comprehensive and balanced understanding of modern genetics, from molecular mechanisms to evolutionary principles. You will develop advanced research and analytical skills by conducting a major research project in a specialist area, working alongside leading geneticists. The course equips you with a powerful asset for a research career or a wide range of other professions by applying genetic knowledge across traditional scientific boundaries.
Key Program Highlights
- Conduct an extensive research project in your fourth year to refine advanced lab and employability skills.
- Learn from leading researchers investigating key questions in mechanisms of life, evolution, and disease.
- Gain a balanced understanding of modern genetics, from bacteria to humans, and its societal applications.
- Option to spend a Year in Industry or a Year Abroad between your second and third years.
- Develop highly valued analytical and critical skills for PhD research and employers in diverse fields.
