BSc (Hons) Medical Genetics

Cutting-edge genetics research is leading a revolution in medicine.

Our Medical Genetics programme taught jointly by Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry and the School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, is a unique opportunity to study medical topics within the context of classical, chromosomal, population and molecular genetics.

You’ll build a strong scientific understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of human health, development and disease, and explore the evolution of diseases within human populations. You’ll study the mitochondrial and human genomes in depth and be introduced to medical research, genetic counselling and bioethics.

In the final year you have the chance to design your own project, supervised by our experts, developing the skills to become a researcher in your own right.
