Biochemistry and Genetics, BSc (Hons) / MSci (Hons)

Molecular biology is a growing subject which is making an enormous impact in many scientific areas, including the study and treatment of many human diseases, pharmaceutical development, and the complex relationships between our environment and ourselves. This interdisciplinary joint honours degree combines two complementary and overlapping disciplines, providing you with in-depth knowledge of the advanced molecular biology techniques and research, which are the basis for understanding all forms of life. You will learn about the genetic processes that occur within living organisms, and study how cells work at the sub-cellular and molecular levels, gaining an in-depth understanding of the biochemical function of living organisms, from bacteria to plants, animals, and humans. You will also develop excellent project management skills, learning how to design experiments and plan work programmes.

We require a minimum IELTS score of 6.0 overall (with a minimum of 5.5 in each component) or equivalent English language qualification. Please see the Swansea University admissions English language requirements page for a full list of accepted qualifications and tests.
