Genetics

About this course

Genetics is the science of heredity and variation, exploring how information encoded in DNA shapes the characteristics of every living organism. It is a discipline that has been transformed in recent decades by advances in genome sequencing, gene editing technologies and high-throughput molecular methods that allow researchers to read and manipulate genetic material with extraordinary precision. These developments have profound implications for human health, agriculture, biotechnology and our understanding of evolution and biodiversity. At the University of Sussex, you will study a discipline that is genuinely fast-moving, with regular discoveries reshaping what we know about gene function, gene regulation and the relationship between genotype and phenotype. The programme includes a foundation year, which provides a solid grounding in biology and related sciences before you enter the ma
