What this subject is
We list 2 Genetics courses at 42 UK universities across 33 cities. They run at postgraduate and undergraduate level.
Teaching in Genetics splits the week between lectures and laboratory work, and the final stage is built around a supervised research project.
Departments differ on the details that matter later: whether a placement year is available, how the final project is supervised, and whether the course carries professional accreditation. We check those against your plans before you apply rather than after an offer arrives.
What departments ask for
The lowest English requirement across the departments we hold on this subject is IELTS 6.0. Component scores count as well as the overall: a department asking for 6.0 overall normally sets a minimum in each of the four papers, and writing is the one applicants most often miss.
Postgraduate entry is judged on your bachelor degree and its classification. Most departments ask for the equivalent of a UK 2:1, which is broadly a 3.00 out of 4.00 or 70 out of 100 on a Turkish transcript. A 2:2 is accepted at a number of departments, more readily where you have relevant work behind you.
Undergraduate entry is judged on your school leaving certificate and grades. Where a qualification is not a direct match for A levels, departments either ask for a foundation year first or accept it at a higher grade.
Alongside the transcript you will need a personal statement, one or two references and a passport copy. Statements that name a specific module, a piece of work or a problem you want to study read very differently from statements that would fit any course.
