Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - Molecular Biology and Genetics

Studying Molecular Biology and Genetics at UEA will provide a fundamental grounding in the study of biology whilst enabling students to decide which area of molecular biology or genetics best fits with their interests. 

Students will study alongside students from the School of Biological Sciences and will have the opportunity to decide how to shape their own degree to reflect the areas of biology they want to explore. This may include specialising in medical genetics, biotechnology or agriculture, as well as studying human health and disease, microbial or plant molecular biology, cellular signalling, and evolutionary biology. 

The School of Biological Sciences brings a strong research-led ethos to every course it offers. UEA students benefit from its enviable position as an integral partner of the Norwich Research Park, which is also home to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, and independent, world-renowned research institutes: the John Innes Centre, the Sainsbury Laboratory, the Earlham Institute and the Quadram Institute. 

After completing a Molecular Biology and Genetics degree, graduates will be equipped to start working in a research laboratory, join industry, or pursue further studies and a career in academia.
