Overview

This page covers Biochemistry and Genetics with a Placement Year across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Genetics is offered as a three year BSc or a four year integrated masters, and the longer route is the usual step towards research.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too.

Send us your transcript and English result and we will list the departments that would consider you, with the entry condition on each.
