Genetics BSc (Hons)

The BSc (Hons) Genetics course delves into the fascinating world of DNA and heredity. You'll explore the molecular and chromosomal basis of physical characteristics, as well as the role of genetic variation in evolution. Thanks to the rapid growth of DNA technology and computing power, genetics is now one of the most rapidly expanding areas of biology. Our degree will give you a solid grounding in the theory behind the subject, as well as the practical techniques used to study it.

With hands-on experience using industry-standard equipment and software, you'll learn about molecular, cellular, and population genetics. You'll also critically analyze the evolutionary outcomes and implications of these processes. With many opportunities for practical fieldwork and independent laboratory research, our degree will prepare you for a successful career in the field of genetics.
