Both twin studies and molecular genetic studies have highlighted the influence of our genetic code on behaviour and health. To adequately understand and influence behaviour and health, we need to increase our knowledge of the way our genes play their part, by themselves and when interacting with our environment.
The interplay of genes and environment
During the two-year Genes in Behaviour and Health Research Master's programme, you'll delve into these questions in depth to understand the causes of individual differences in behaviour and health and learn about the interplay of genes and environment.
Team of excellent researchers
You will be taught by an extraordinary group of top researchers.
