Not all modules will have formal examinations. Written exams will take place before Christmas and in May. These projects are based in the departments that contribute to the Genetics degree. Year 4 also includes a three-month project, during which you receive training in the use of genetic approaches to solving a contemporary question or problem in biology. See the College Calendar for additional information on the Programme and the Book of Modules for further information on the modules.Ģ88 per year (may include directed study/reading hours, depending on the module). Lectures and practicals are conducted between 9am and 6pm (Monday to Friday).Ģ16 per year.

Year 4 also includes a three-month project in the laboratory, during which time you will receive training in the use of genetic approaches to solving a contemporary question or problem in biology. Year 2 is designed to provide fundamental background knowledge in preparation for the specialisation in Genetics in Years 3 and 4.

In Year 1 you will focus on foundation knowledge for Genetics, including how genes work in individuals and populations and how cutting-edge programmes such as the Human Genome Project are revolutionising the way we tackle biological questions. The BSc Genetics will teach you to understand how genes work in individuals and populations. There is a particular emphasis on molecular genetics but the course covers a wide range of topics such as classical medical genetics, evolutionary and population genetics, animal breeding and genetic manipulation of animal and plant genomes, etc. Genetics is fundamental to all areas of biological study, as genes carry the information which largely determines what we are and how we function in the environment.
