BSc Molecular Genetics at King's College London

The Molecular Genetics BSc at King’s is a multidisciplinary degree programme focusing on the advances in the field of biology that investigate how the structure and functions of genes and the genome regulate the processes and mechanisms of life. Geneticists study how DNA is replicated, repaired, and decoded to make protein and other molecules within cells and tissues, which in turn impact the physiology, behaviour, and wellbeing of living things. The course covers the broad range of genetics from the molecular basis of genes and genomes to evolutionary and healthcare genetics.

Faculty: Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine  |  Department: School of Basic & Medical Biosciences  |  Duration: Three years, or four years with a year abroad or extra-mural year, or four years with transfer to MSci  |  Study mode: full-time; year in industry  |  Intake: September 2027  |  Location: London, England, United Kingdom

What you will study

The Molecular Genetics course is continually evolving in the light of advances in the field, and reflecting the rapid rate of conceptual and technological development. The course provides knowledge and training in understanding how genetic information influences the processes of life in healthy and diseased organisms. This degree focuses on the new genetic methods and technologies that advance our understanding of mechanisms of life.
