IN THE UK RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT (Research Excellence Framework 2014) 1 ST
GENETICS SINGLETON PARK CAMPUS
Genetics is an exciting and fast-moving field with an enormous impact in a range of scientific areas, including the understanding and treatment of diseases, pharmaceutical development, evolution, and the conservation of biodiversity. You will learn techniques for analysing gene expression, protein interactions, DNA structure and damage, image analysis of biomolecules and cells, and advanced computer analytical methods.
Foundation Year available – see pages 58-63 for full details Global Opportunities available † International Students foundation programme available Welsh Scholarships/Bursaries available
You will benefit from access to the state-of-the-art research facilities including DNA and protein analytical equipment, computer-based image analysers and a powerful supercomputer facility. You will develop excellent project management skills and learn how to design experiments and plan work programmes. A range of optional modules gives you the flexibility to tailor your degree to your particular interests, career ambitions, or plans for further study. A joint honours programme is also available with Biochemistry, combining two complementary and overlapping disciplines. MSci PROGRAMME: This integrated undergraduate master’s degree adds specialist training in laboratory techniques and a further research-focused year to the 3-year BSc Genetics course. This course gives you a master’s level qualification while paying undergraduate fees and is ideal if you plan on a career in research.
