Genetics is fundamental to all areas of biological study, as genes carry the information which largely determines what we are and how we function in the environment.
The BSc Genetics will teach you to understand how genes work in individuals and populations, and how this genetic information is passed from one generation to the next. Our Genetics programme places particular emphasis on the molecular basis of genetics, and our graduates will obtain a strong foundation in modern genetics. We also cover a wide range of topics such as classical medical genetics, evolutionary and population genetics, animal breeding, and the genetic manipulation of animal and plant genomes.
In Year 1 you will focus on foundation knowledge for Genetics, including how genes work in individuals and populations and how cutting-edge programmes such as the Human Genome Project are revolutionising the way we tackle biological questions.
Year 2 is designed to provide fundamental background knowledge in preparation for the specialisation in Genetics in Years 3 and 4.
Year 4 also includes a three-month project in the laboratory, during which time you will receive training in the use of genetic approaches to solving a contemporary question or problem in biology. These projects are based in the departments that contribute to the Genetics course.
This is a multidisciplinary course and includes academic staff from a number of different departments in the College of Science, Engineering and Food Science (SEFS) and project supervisors from the College of Medicine and Health. This approach will consolidate your knowledge of modern genetics and open a huge number of doors across the science sector.
Career Opportunities
Graduates of the BSc in Genetics are versatile and multi-skilled graduates. You will graduate from this course with a strong foundation in modern genetics, molecular biology, and functional genomics. The practical applications of these disciplines include: animal breeding, biotechnology, forensics, genetic counselling, and medical genetics, making you an attractive candidate for a variety of careers. This course will also equip you with the skills to pursue careers in the pharmaceutical industry, molecular diagnostics, medical research, science journalism, and teaching. Recent graduates work in a variety of jobs including: research scientist, research assistant, laboratory technician, technical writer, quality control analyst, and medical laboratory analyst.
