Course Overview

** NEW IN SEPTEMBER 2020 **

Genetics and Genomics is an exciting area of science involving the study and use of DNA based data in the life sciences. Genetics is the study of how DNA is the blueprint for functionality in every cell and is also the code that passes information from one generation to the next. New sequencing technologies can now generate vast quantities of data from DNA. Genomics is the study of these data to make important discoveries in areas such as medicine, agriculture, evolution, the environment and biotechnology.

This new programme - beginning in 2020 – aims to provide students with a unique inter-disciplinary educational experience that combines biology with mathematics and data science.

1st Year: Students will receive a foundational scientific understanding of principles that govern the complex nature of living systems th
