About this course

Molecular biology and genetics addresses the most fundamental questions about how living organisms work and how the characteristics that define them are encoded, transmitted, and expressed. At the molecular level, life is governed by DNA, RNA, and proteins, and the interactions between them determine everything from cellular metabolism to developmental processes and the response to disease. Genetics provides the framework for understanding how traits are inherited, how mutations arise and spread through populations, and how variation at the molecular level connects to the diversity of living things we observe in the world. At the University of East Anglia, this four-year degree incorporates a placement year in which you spend an extended period working in a relevant research or industrial environment. During your academic years, you will build a rigorous grounding in cell biology, bioch
