Biomedical Genetics BSc Honours (B901)

Interested in how genetic information passes from one generation to the next? Want to explore the causes of hereditary diseases? This degree gives you in-depth knowledge of how genes affect health and disease.

Genetics is the study of how DNA is transmitted between generations. Also how it is decoded to determine our individual characteristics.

You'll learn about how:

• hereditary material passes on genetic information from one generation to the next
• genes are controlled and how they, in turn, control development
• mutations can lead to a wide range of medical diseases

Study with us and you'll:

• develop scientific and experimental skills through practical work in our biomedical labs
• boost your CV through work experience here at the University
• learn from experts and graduate with the latest knowledge of human health and disease - the University's Institute of Genetic Medicine feeds into our degrees
