通过一年在工业，商业或研究环境中的学习，可以提高您的本科学位。遗传学使我们能够根据细胞的潜在分子机制了解正常事件，例如发育，生长和衰老，并有助于解释为什么这些过程在疾病中会出错。遗传学还为我们提供了生产改良作物和牲畜的工具。该学位课程旨在在分子，细胞和有机体水平上灌输有关遗传学的广泛知识基础。此外，学生将对遗传学的某些方面有深入的了解，这将反映学校的研究专业知识和优势，并将指导该学科的许多应用。在您的第四年，您将进行为期一年的工业实习，并在五年后以MSci（本科硕士学位）而不是BSc毕业。安置有很大不同，
Enhance your undergraduate degree with a year's placement in an industrial, commercial or research environment.Genetics allows us to understand normal events such as development, growth and ageing in terms of the underlying molecular machinery of the cell and helps explain why these processes go wrong in disease. Genetics also provides us with tools to produce improved crops and livestock.<br>This degree programme aims to instil a broad base of knowledge regarding Genetics at the molecular, cellular and organismal levels. Additionally, students will gain an in depth understanding of selected aspects of Genetics which will reflect the research expertise and strengths within the School, and will be instructed in the many applications of this subject.<br>In your fourth year you will undertake a year's industrial placement and graduate after five years with an MSci (an undergraduate Masters degree) instead of a BSc. Placements vary considerably but in general terms, you will be placed in an industrial, commercial or research environment where you will obtain a breadth of practical experience to complement your degree programme and enhance your employability.
