With a degree in Genetics, you will be playing a vital part in the development of genetic engineering and the decoding of the human genome. Take on the ‘grand challenges’ of medicine and agriculture as you gain a comprehensive understanding of the nature, transmission and expression of genetic information in living organisms.Genetics is at the core of biological and medical sciences and so upon completion of this degree, you will be suitable for opportunities in a wide range of careers including research, industry, healthcare, forensics and the development of improved crops to address food security. You’ll also develop extensive knowledge and understanding of related disciplines through optional modules such as human genetic disorders and cancer genetics.This integrated Masters (MBiol) gives you an additional year of specialist training, to study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project. You may also choose to apply for our 3-year BSc and transfer to an MBiol up until the end of your second year, subject to suitable academic performance.**Course highlights**- You will study the applications of genetic techniques in fields as diverse as genetic engineering, diagnostics and therapies for human diseases, developmental biology, human evolution and addition to biotechnology and crop production.- Career development is at the heart of all our programmes, with specific modules presenting you with opportunities for workplace training through placements and internships.- Genetics is a key part of biological sciences and underpins biotechnology and pharmaceutical development - the rapid development of the various vaccines to protect against Coronavirus was a direct result of the application of genetic engineering.- The MBiol four-year integrated Masters course provides additional specialist training culminating in an original, cutting-edge extended research project that will equip you with the skills necessary for a career in research, as well as setting you apart in the graduate job market.

Untuk mahasiswa internasional
A-level: AAA Including biology and preferably another science or science-related subject. If biology is the only science subject then an A grade is required. Critical thinking and general studies excluded.We accept the following:Science: biology, human biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics.Science-related: computing, environmental science, food science, geography, geology, PE, psychology, statistics.Applicants taking a Science A-level (in England) will be required to achieve a pass in the practical element in addition to the standard A-level grade requirement.When an applicant is taking any of the following:Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)Cambridge International Project Qualification (Cambridge IPQ)Core Maths (if A-level Maths or Further Maths isn't studied as a full A-level)AS Maths (if A-level Maths or Further Maths isn't studied as a full A-level)Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Skills Challenge CertificateIt will be considered alongside A-levels and may attract an alternative offer in addition to the standard offer. If you are taking A-levels, this would be a 1 grade drop from the standard offer. For example an A in one of the above qualifications with AAB at A-level (MBiol applicants).GCSE: Grade 6 (B) or above at GCSE maths and Grade 4 (C) or above at GCSE English.
