20 Master of Science Programs in Genetics

A master's degree is a post-graduate certificate that focuses more deeply on a given subject than a bachelor's degree. A Master of Science is more focused on the analytical side of a subject when compared to a Master of Arts. What is an MSc in Genetics?

What is an MSc in Genetics? Genetics is the study of genes, which are complicated biological tools. A firm understanding of biology and life sciences is a must because this field includes an in-depth study of heredity and gene mutation. Gene expansion and genetic mutation are two possible areas of focus, and both require an analytical mind and keen attention to detail. Expect to spend some time in the classroom and some in the lab.

Some areas of genetics require the use of specialized tools; you could learn how to navigate a standard lab or database system. These abilities can help you find the job you want. Another skill often gained in this program is determination since the experiments in genetics often are repeated on a large scale.

Scholarships, stipends and grants can offset some of the costs of this degree. Look at research institutions as they often are interested in co-funding a student in the sciences. The costs you should expect depend on the location of the school you choose and whether you go full-time or part-time.

With a degree in genetics, expect to work somewhere in the science or medical field. Geneticists are involved in creating cures for rare illnesses and biological tools to combat human-driven issues such as climate change and crop uniformity. Knowledge of genetics is also useful in many public policy debates, so this degree can open a career as a science advisor.

There are many schools across multiple countries that offer a degree in genetics. You can find the best fit by using personal information to narrow your search. Search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.

This programme connects fundamental research with its applications and integrates genetics, gene technology, cell biology, molecular biology and molecular biotechnology. The common basis is within molecular genetics, which is the discipline that explains how the information in the genes is expressed and how it can give rise to various traits in an organism. Emphasis is put on genetic mechanisms underlying disease, genetic mapping, molecular genetic techniques and diagnostic methods. Training in entrepreneurship and processes of innovation and commercialisation in the molecular biotechnology field provides a fundamental base for careers in biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry. A majority of the graduated students continue with PhD studies, often within the biomedical research field. -
