• Entry requirements
  Required subjects: three A2 levels (including biology plus at least one other science, preferably chemistry); maths GCSE if not passed at A2/ AS IB score: 32 (5/ 6 Biology + one other sciences at Higher Level)
• Academic title
  BSc Genetics
• Course description
  BSc Genetics
  
  Programme
  
  Year one
  
  Your first year will be a broad introduction to biology and genetics and is common to all degrees in the School of Biology. It introduces you to the biology of animals, plants and microbes and the biochemical evolutionary and genetic processes that underlie their biology.
  
  Year two
  
  The autumn semester involves studies of molecular biology and experimental design and the spring modules include Molecular Evolution and Bacterial Genetics. In addition, you will have a wide range of options, including Science Communication, Medical Genetics, Behaviour and Ecology, Parasitology, Endocrinology, Photography, Pharmacology, Immunology, Neurobiology, Biotechnology, and Molecular Embryology.
  
  Year three
  
  The third year includes a practical research project, which will allow you to carry out your own investigation in genetics. The course will also introduce you to advanced level studies in the control of gene expression, cancer genetics, DNA repair, developmental biology, microbial evolution and population and conservation genetics.
