Overview

Human and Molecular Genetics is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a one year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.

Teaching in Genetics splits the week between lectures and laboratory work, and the final stage is built around a supervised research project.
