Designed in collaboration with the NHS: Sheffield Diagnostic Genetics Service, this course is for students who are fascinated by medical genetics.

Through theoretical and hands-on practical skills training you’ll explore human genetics and develop an understanding of how human genetic diseases are diagnosed clinically at the chromosome and DNA levels. You’ll also have opportunities to explore the wider implications of genetics in fields such as genomics, human fertility, stem cells and cancer biology through your lectures and NHS placement opportunities.

Practical laboratory experience is at the core of our teaching and you’ll spend more than half of your studies based in the lab. Here you’ll complete training modules covering a wide range of exciting modern laboratory techniques. First you'll learn core skills such as molecular cloning, microorganism handling, DNA sequence analysis, PCR, SDS-PAGE, western blotting and CRISPR. You’ll then complete competence based training in specialist techniques such as human cell culture, cytogenetics, fluorescence microscopy and qPCR.
