Masters of Science in Human Genetics: The master of science in human genetics programme prepares students to work as part of genetics and genomics research teams in academia or industry. Graduates of the programme frequently go on to pursue PhD degrees and become independent scientists. The adaptable curriculum gives a comprehensive foundation in the area while also allowing for customised emphasis on laboratory genetics or genetic data analysis. MS students pursue mentored research projects culminating in the preparation and defence of a thesis, in addition to core coursework and advanced classes in a chosen area of concentration.
