The fields of genetics and molecular biology provide profound insights into human identity. When approached with proper research methodologies, they also reveal improved methods for disease diagnosis and treatment. If this aligns with your interests, our three-year BSc in Medical Genetics offers comprehensive study across key areas like protein functions, gene regulation, cellular molecular biology, metabolic processes, molecular medicine, and biomedical ethics. This program delivers specialized genetic training focused on medical applications. As a student, you'll join our renowned Department of Genetics - among the nation's largest and most respected for its diverse research, particularly in human and medical genetics. Note: This curriculum mirrors the initial three years of the MBiolSci in Medical Biosciences (Genetics) program.
