Course Description
- The Genetics and Cell Biology course provides students with theoretical and practical resources for a career in the healthcare industry
- The first year of the course is taken in common with other science courses, so students will be studying biology, chemistry, physics, biostatistics and computing
- In Year Two, students will develop a deeper understanding of genetics, the biochemistry of the cell and microbiology. They will also be introduced to pharmacology and instrumentation
- In the first semester of Year Three, students will gain the practical skills and techniques that form the basis of cell and gene technologies. These include gene cloning and bioinformatics (the application of computing in genetic analysis). With this knowledge, students be well prepared for their six-month work experience placement (INTRA)
- In the final year, students will explore the advances arising from research in genetics and cell biology as well as medical products and the healthcare industry. A significant research project must also be completed
