Biomedical Genetics

About this course

Biomedical genetics is the branch of biology concerned with how genes work, how genetic variation arises, and how it influences health, disease, and development. The discipline lies at the heart of modern medicine: advances in our ability to sequence, analyse, and manipulate genomes are transforming our understanding of cancer, inherited disorders, infectious disease, pharmacogenomics, and reproductive medicine. Biomedical genetics combines classical genetics with molecular biology, cell biology, and bioinformatics, and it requires both strong scientific understanding and the ability to engage with the ethical and social implications of genetic knowledge. At the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, this three-year, full-time programme includes a sandwich placement year, a year abroad, and work placement experience, making it one of the most professionally and internationally developed und
