This course provides an understanding of how modern-day problems, such as disease and threats to wildlife populations, could be solved through the study of genetics. With practical sessions starting in year one, you'll gain a core grounding of genetic principles such as gene action and evolution and cover the genetics of all living systems, from microbes and plants to humans. We have close links with industry and our academic experts are actively involved in research, ensuring that teaching is informed by the latest scientific developments. Your learning and research will take place in modern lecture theatres and labs. Through optional modules and a detailed research project, you can tailor the course to suit your own interests and aspirations in the field of genetics. The integrated masters (MSci) version of this course provides you with additional research experience, preparing you for your future career or further postgraduate study.

There are a range of optional modules to choose from in every year of the course. You will study these alongside core modules. Your first year will be a broad introduction to biology and genetics. You'll study the biology of animals, plants and microbes, and the biochemical, evolutionary and genetic processes that underlie their biology. In the second year you will continue studying genes, genomes and chromosomes as well as gaining insight into experimental design and bioinformatics. The practical research project is a large focus in the third year and will allow you to carry out your own genetic investigation, in a specific area that interests you. If you choose to study the integrated masters (MSci), you’ll complete a year-long research project in your fourth year. This could be lab- or literature-based.
