About Genetics, BSc (Hons) - at University of Glasgow

Genetics is the study of genes and how they act. The methods used in, and knowledge acquired by, the study of genetics impact on diverse areas such as: the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases; crime and forensics; and ecology and conservation.

What will I study?

In fourth year you will undertake a research project in genetics under the supervision of a researcher and choose courses from a range of specialised advanced courses.

How will I learn?

Teaching is delivered through a combination of lectures, small group tutorials, seminars and lab work. There is an emphasis on methods of learning in which our students take the lead, such as problem-based learning, workshops and poster sessions.
