遗传学理学士（荣誉学位）

基因在多大程度上决定着我们的生物学，行为，幸福或兴趣，遗传学处于现代生物学的最前沿，推动着医学和合成生物学的发展。基因操纵，生物技术和基因组学方面的新技术使您能够探索基因组与表观遗传学之间的相互作用，这些相互作用可支持复杂的活生物体从单个细胞的发育。我们的BSc遗传学课程的教学重点是现实世界中的生物医学应用，包括细胞如何分化以形成复杂生物体中存在的专门组织，以及如何破坏细胞生长的精细调节并导致癌症。
Genetics is at the forefront of modern biology, driving progress in medicine and synthetic biology. Thanks to recent developments in genetic analysis and manipulation, we are now able to explore the interaction between genes and the environment at an unprecedented level: from developmental processes to the epigenetic effects of the environment in our genome.<br><br>Teaching on our BSc Genetics course focuses on real-world applications, including medicine, biotechnology and genomics. The study of genetics includes understanding how genes are passed from one generation to the next, how DNA works, and the effects of variation and natural selection.<br><br>You will be trained in genetics and genomics. Depending on your choice of modules, you will focus on biomedical aspects, on the study of genomes or on a combination of both areas. Our optional modules also cover a wide range of topics including plant biotechnology, stem cells and microbiology.<br><br>As the world's environmental problems increase, the demand for qualified biologists and geneticists continues to grow.<br>Our recent graduates have taken up a wide range of careers in research laboratories, consultancies, business and industry, conservation practice and environmental assessment. Others have gone on to work in sales, publishing and management, while others still have chosen to enhance their career opportunities by studying for MSc or PhD degrees.
