Medical Genetics with a Placement Year

About this course

Medical genetics is the science of how hereditary information is stored, transmitted, and expressed in biological systems, and how variations in that information contribute to disease, health, and the diversity of living organisms. It sits at the intersection of molecular biology, genetics, clinical medicine, and biotechnology, and it has become one of the most rapidly evolving fields in biomedical science as the ability to read, interpret, and in some cases modify the genome has expanded dramatically in recent decades. At Swansea University, this four-year full-time Medical Genetics degree with a placement year takes you through the molecular and cellular foundations of genetic inheritance, the mechanisms by which mutations and epigenetic changes produce disease, and the methods used to investigate and understand genetic variation in populations. The placement year gives you direct pro
