理学硕士-遗传学

理学硕士（MSc）是两年制学位，涵盖课程和研究。第一年主要涉及课程工作和初步研究准备。学生将有机会为现有的研究领域做出贡献，或开始开发新的领域。可以在下面列出的任何学科中研究MSc，并且可以通过课程和论文的结合或仅通过论文来获得。拥有学士学位的学生将通过论文和论文（至少两年的全日制学习）完成硕士学位。拥有荣誉学位或研究生文凭的学生只能通过论文完成学位（至少一年的学习）。<br>遗传学将孟德尔遗传学和细胞遗传学的经典方法与最近发展的分子遗传学学科相结合。它是一门非常实用的科学，它还具有复杂而有趣的理论基础。
Genetics is a rapidly-progressing science, a central theme of modern biology, and a critical component of most biological research.<br>With a high demand for genetics graduates within New Zealand and overseas, a degree in this ground-breaking and practical discipline will provide you with many career options. Genetics is the study of genes and inheritance. It's fun, interesting, challenging and relevant to everyday life. It's a very diverse subject, in which you'll learn about the molecular basis of life right through to the study of whole organisms, populations and evolution. You will learn to make informed decisions about topics such as genetic engineering, cloning and your own health. In your lectures, you'll also learn about the cutting- edge research being undertaken at Otago and you'll have many opportunities to undertake hands-on research.<br><br>A candidate achieving the degree by papers and a thesis shall normally follow a programme for the equivalent of not less than two years of full-time study and not more than three years of full-time study, and a candidate achieving the degree by thesis alone shall normally follow a programme of study for the equivalent of not less than one year of full-time study and not more than two years of full-time study. Exceptions shall be permitted only with the approval of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Sciences).
