遗传学理学学士

不久前，遗传学是一个高度专业化的领域，它由一个叫做遗传学家的专门研究人员小组发展。现在，它已成为所有生物科学研究的基础。遗传学的核心是研究生物之间的变异以及这种变异是如何遗传的。这可以包括对基因调节，发育，神经遗传学，种群遗传学和进化的研究，以及对人类，动植物的遗传疾病的检测，预防和治疗。然后将这些知识应用于生物学，生物医学，生物技术，生态学和保护学的研究。
The Bachelor of Science (BSc) course is designed to provide excellent science education across a broad range of science and technology areas of study and equip students with a range of knowledge and skills to enhance their science studies. The degree will provide flexible pathways to employment, research higher degrees and many professional postgraduate programs.<br><br>Students completing a Genetics major will be prepared for careers or advanced study which involve the application of fundamental genetics, genomics, evolutionary, population and ecological genetics to all areas of biology, biomedical sciences and biotechnology. Graduates will develop knowledge and skills in the theory of genetics and molecular biology, population genetics and evolution and in experimental design, data recording and analysis and scientific writing, which are essential preparation for roles in universities, research institutes, government departments, hospitals and in the biotechnology industry. This major will integrate knowledge across the breadth of genetics, including an integrated practical capstone subject in which the students develop an understanding of the application of experimental analysis to solving problems in biology. Students will gain experience preparing them for the workplace by participating in problem-solving, synthesis of information, written work, and independent as well as collaborative activities. The transferable skills developed in this major can be used in broad careers in science, including conservation, teaching, forensics, publishing, genetic counselling and research and in careers beyond the field of science.
