遗传学处于现代生物学的最前沿，重大新进展的迅速发展使遗传学成为令人兴奋的研究领域。基因组学，特别是基因编辑和生物技术方面的最新发展已导致个性化医学和基因工程领域的巨大进步，这些领域有可能彻底改变我们如何对待和思考疾病，我们如何生产农作物以及制造新的生物材料。简而言之，现代遗传学是整个生物学的基础。无论您的兴趣是医学，癌症生物学，进化论，生物技术，植物遗传学和食品安全还是分子生物学，遗传学都能为您提供帮助。<br> <br>我们的学位课程旨在使您对以下方面的全部知识有所了解：遗传学，同时还可以让您追求特定兴
Genetics is at the cutting edge of modern biology and the fast pace of major new developments has made genetics an exciting field of study. Recent developments in genomics, gene editing and biotechnology in particular, have led to huge advances in the fields of personalised medicine and genetic engineering, areas that have the potential to revolutionise how we treat and think about disease, how we produce crops and manufacture new biological materials. In short, modern genetics underpins all of biology. Whether your interests lie in medicine, cancer biology, evolution, biotechnology, plant genetics and food security or molecular biology, genetics has something to offer you.<br><br>Our degree programme aims to give you an appreciation of the full range of genetics while also allowing you to pursue areas of specific interest. During the course of your degree you will study modules in human and clinical genetics, gene expression and development, evolutionary genetics and biotechnology and will also have the opportunity to select from a wide range of optional modules. You will be taught by members of staff who are at the forefront of medical genetics, plant genetics, evolutionary genetics and genomics and also by visiting experts in fields such as forensics.
