About this course

Genetics is the science of heredity and variation in living organisms, investigating how traits are passed from one generation to the next, how genes are expressed and regulated, and how genetic variation relates to health, disease, and evolution. It is one of the central disciplines of modern biology, with implications for medicine, agriculture, conservation, and forensic science, and is advancing rapidly as sequencing technologies make it possible to read and interpret the genomes of organisms at ever greater speed and resolution. The University of Manchester's four-year full-time programme in genetics with a modern language combines a rigorous science education with the opportunity to develop genuine proficiency in a second language. The programme includes a foundation year that builds scientific and academic skills before you progress to the full genetics curriculum, and a sandwich
