The Medical Genetics Intercalated BSc is an exciting course covering the latest genetic theories and advances, together with their application in medicine.

Recent advances in genetics, including the 100,000 Genomes Project, are giving rise to a detailed understanding of the inherited and acquired genetic changes underlying a wide range of disease conditions. This knowledge is fuelling a move to more personalised medicine based on individual genetic information.

The course also develops a critical approach to the acquisition of knowledge, problem-solving and communication skills, and an understanding of research methods and rationales.
