About the course

Genetics is having a profound impact on society. Conservation, agriculture, biotechnology and medicine are all undergoing a revolution, made possible by scientific advances in contemporary genetics.At Sussex, you’ll see how these advances are helping us better understand the genetic basis of human health. You’ll also explore how technological solutions can transform the treatment of disease. And how this could lead us to developing personalised medicine.In the School of Life Sciences, you’ll join a friendly and supportive community of students and academics. You’ll learn from experts specialising in fields such as cancer biology, neurological disorders and population ecology. Your teaching is based on the latest research. On your course, you’ll:- be inspired by a wide range of topics, from cell and molecular biology, genomics and bioinformatics, to structural and developmental biology and neuroscience- learn to use modern experimental techniques and carry out hands-on work in our labs- develop data analysis and communication skills, with the opportunity to learn computing and programming- carry out your own research project.When you graduate, you’ll have the skills and knowledge for a wide range of science and science-related careers. This could include:- the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries- the NHS and healthcare- science writing or publishing- science engagement.And in addition, in your integrated Masters year, you gain a strong theoretical and practical foundation for a career in – or related to – research. You’ll spend a semester working on an individual research project in one of our Genetics research teams. In this year, you’ll develop advanced skills in technical, analytical and scientific communication skills.
