It is a discipline that operates at the molecular level, examining the structure and function of DNA, the mechanisms by which genes are regulated and expressed, and the ways in which genetic change drives evolution and underlies disease. As the current description of this programme notes, to understand how living things function, grow, and reproduce requires focus at precisely this molecular scale, and genetics provides the conceptual and practical tools to do so. At Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, University of London, this three-year full-time programme gives you genuine insight into the molecular mechanisms that
