This course is specially designed for students of genetics that wish to pursue a scientific career at the highest level, or engage in further research activity at postgraduate level. You will gain a core grounding of genetic principles such as gene action and evolution and cover the genetics of all living systems, from microbes to humans. You will then apply this knowledge in designing your own research project, and we will support you in tailoring it to suit your interests and aspirations in the field of genetics. Your learning and research will all take place in modern lecture theatres and laboratories, with a strong emphasis on practical application throughout.
