理学士（荣誉）生物科学（遗传学）

可选的三明治年份，可选的国外年份。遗传学遍及社会的许多方面，包括人类健康，粮食生产，环境质量，物种保护，道德和法律。您将学习基因工程，分子遗传学和发育遗传学，人类遗传学和进化遗传学如何促进对学科的更好理解。您将对现代遗传学有一个平衡的了解，重点是从细菌到人的生物体中基因的组织，遗传，表达和进化。在莱斯特大学，我们的生物科学学位实际上是七合一。您可以在生物科学（遗传学）或以下列出的五个专业学位中的任何一个上申请该学位，也可以在生物科学中申请一个普通学位。
Genetics covers many aspects of society including human health, forensic science, food production, environmental quality, species conservation, ethics and law. On this course you will learn how genetic engineering, molecular and developmental genetics, human genetics and evolutionary genetics all contribute to a greater understanding of the discipline. You will gain a balanced understanding of modern genetics focusing on the organisation, inheritance, expression and evolution of genes in organisms ranging from bacteria to Homo sapiens. You will work alongside leading geneticists who are investigating some of the most important questions in genetic research in order to gain insight into the mechanisms of life and evolution. Geneticists study these processes in all types of organisms and discover how errors in them can cause disease, and they help discover how genes work across the biological sciences. You will also gain a broad understanding of fundamental biological processes, while developing analytical skills and gaining experience in handling complex information. By studying genetics alongside options in other biological sciences, you will be able to apply your knowledge across the boundaries of traditional disciplines and gain a valuable and powerful asset in scientific environments and in many other walks of life.
