Genetics and Medical Biology BSc (Hons)
Course summary :
Subject area: Biology: Cell & Molecular Biology and Genetics
Location of study: Cambridge
Length of study: 3 years
UCAS code: CB49
Total tariff points: 200 at A level or equivalent
Specific entry requirements: "Required subject(s): GCE A-level Biology GCSE(s) Preferred: English grade C, Mathematics grade C"
Course overview :
Genetics has always been a very important aspect of Biology and has become particularly topical with the recent completion of the Human Genome Project. Our Genetics course combines particularly well with Medical Biology which involves the study of a wide variety of disciplines including cell biology, biochemistry, histology, immunology, microbiology and genetics. It allows you to explore the full breadth of Genetics whilst placing particular emphasis on health and disease. This makes it a challenging, yet fascinating subject of study.
This degree pathway takes you from the basics which underpin the subject right through to the forefront of current knowledge. It will provide an excellent preparation for a variety of careers, both subject-related and generic.
The opportunity to spend two semesters at one of our partner institutions in the United States, or Europe, will allow you to add an international dimension to your studies, and to experience a new and exciting learning environment.
When you graduate you will be able to: Plan and carry out research projects in your chosen field. Interpret experimental results using statistics and other data-analysis techniques. Appreciate how the latest scientific research is relevant to important real-life problems and controversies. This degree is about acquiring advanced knowledge and techniques in a field of ever-increasing scientific and commercial importance. You'll be studying in the stimulating environment of a research-oriented department, and will graduate well-qualified for a fulfilling career in a range of expanding fields.
Course Content :
In your first year, you will take our Core Biology module, which is compulsory for all Life Sciences students. Through this module you will develop various essential study skills and acquire laboratory experience, as well as studying a range of Biology topics. Other modules in Microbiology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology will provide a foundation of knowledge for the two subject areas of this degree. You will also learn about data interpretation and introductory statistical analysis in the Biomeasurement module.
In your second and third years, your studies become more specialised and you will take modules specific to Genetic and Medical Biology, including Principles of Genetics and Principles of Pathology. During your final year, you will carry out a laboratory-based research project.
Modules associated with this degree are listed below;
Year one core modules:
- Biomeasurement
- Core Biology
- Introduction to Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
- Foundations of Cell Biology
- Human Anatomy and Physiology I
- Human Anatomy and Physiology II
- General Microbiology
Year two core modules:
- Preparation for Research
- Practical Biology
- Principles of Genetics
- Cell and Molecular Structure and Function

Associated careers :
This degree will prepare you for a career in a wide range of fields including the pharmaceutical industry and the health service. Many graduates also go on to further study.
Assessment :
A wide variety of assessments methods are used, both formative (e.g. computer based exercises, non-assessed presentations, class exercises etc) and summative (e.g. unseen and seen examinations, computer-based assessments, essays, practical reports, assessed seminar presentations, review and assessment of scientific papers, laboratory skills, project report etc.
Profesional recognition :
You will be entitled to apply for student membership of the Institute of Biology. After working as a biologist for two years, graduates may apply for full membership and Chartered Biologist status.
Special features :
Emphasis of course is on development of laboratory and practical skills, newly equipped laboratories a major strength. Opportunities to do project work with external organisations e.g. Human Genome Project
Links with industry :
Life Science staff have useful links with The Institute of Biology (London), British Antarctic Survey (Cambridge), Human Genome Project (Cambridge) as well as a range of local employers including: Addenbrooke?s Hospital and Glaxosmithkline.
