Course summary


Overview

After the enormous advances made in the last few years, this is the perfect time to study molecular biology and genetics. Studying this BSc in Molecular Biology and Genetics with a Year Abroad will provide you with a fundamental grounding in biology while allowing you to determine which areas of molecular biology or genetics best align with your interests. You’ll study alongside students from other biology courses and will have the flexibility to shape your degree to reflect the areas of biology you want to explore. This may include specialising in medical genetics, biotechnology, or agriculture, as well as their applications in fields such as human health and disease, microbial or plant molecular biology, cellular signaling, and evolutionary biology. This four-year programme follows the structure of our BSc in Molecular Biology and Genetics while giving you the opportunity to spend your third year studying abroad in one of our partner universities in Australasia, North America or Europe. This is a fantastic opportunity – academically, socially and culturally – to experience university life in another country. Your year abroad, and the adaptability it fosters, will also be an attractive asset to future employers. At UEA, you’ll benefit from our enviable position as an integral partner of the Norwich Research Park, which is home to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and independent, world-renowned research institutes: the John Innes Centre, the Sainsbury Laboratory, the Quadram Institute (a food and health research centre), and the Earlham Institute (a genomics, bioinformatics, and molecular biology research centre). In your final year, you’ll have the chance to further develop your skills with an independent research project in a unique area of science and could even see your research published.
