If you are interested in a research career in genetics, this integrated Master's degree equips you with the advanced practical skills and knowledge you'll need.
The degree is similar to our Biomedical Genetics BSc Honours degree. But it includes a fourth year of study at Master's level.
This helps you develop advanced practical and academic skills needed for your future career.
The degree has a strong focus on human genetics and information gained from recent and on-going analyses of the human genome.
The fourth year comprises an extended laboratory-based research project, to advance your research skills to a professional level. It also includes a Master's-level module in genetic medicine and a further module selected from an extensive list offered by our research institutes. For example, Biology of Ageing, Cancer Studies, and Developmental Genetics.
