Plan Outline

This is an Advanced Science Study Plan/Major in Genetics.

The Genetics Study Plan is broadly based and during the first two years of study offers a general introduction to the discipline. The study Plan allows students to diversify in later stages into the more specialised areas of genetics, including molecular genetics, human genetics, plant and microbial molecular biology, conservation biology, etc.

The flexibility of this plan therefore allows students the scope to combine genetics with a number of other courses offered by the different schools within the faculty of Science so that Stage 4 (honours) may be completed in any of these schools porvided that suitable Genetics honours projects are offered.
