This course is designed to prepare you for a genetics research career, either in human gene function and genetic disease, or molecular approaches to diagnosis, or health care biotechnology. It provides a broad grounding in Human Genetics, with emphasis on molecular aspects, to give a solid basis for subsequent academic or industrial research, or for entry to NHS Genetics training.
Career Opportunities
Approximately 50% of our students go on to do a PhD, 25% become research assistants/associates, while others go on to jobs in industry or further studies (bioinformatics/ computing medicine). Typically one or two students every year enter the NHS in clinical genetics training posts.
Contents
Objectives * To provide training and skills for a career in human genetics
* To provide the necessary skills and basic knowledge required to underpin a higher degree in the same or a related discipline
* To facilitate the conversion of graduates from other relevant disciplines to human molecular genetics
The science of human genetics has been transformed in the past decade. Following the sequencing of the entire human genome, a wealth of resources is now available to researchers aiming to identify the genetic variants that influence human health. These findings will shed light on the underlying molecular pathology of many diseases that are poorly understood at present, eventually paving the way for novel treatment and prevention strategies. The speed at which these discoveries are being made is accelerating, and it is likely that molecular genetics will soon underpin much of modern medicine.
IELTS
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
Take testRequirements
Normally applicants are required to have a minimum of a second class Honours degree from a UK university or an equivalent overseas qualification. Most candidates will have a first degree in biological or biochemical sciences, genetics or related subjects, but those with medical or nursing degrees, or with other training, may be considered.
