Molecular Genetics

Currently, students study the following core modules. Optional modules are available and the current choices are shown. King's reviews its optional modules on a regular basis, in order to continue to offer innovative and exciting programmes and this list is therefore subject to change. Please check here for updates, or contact the School/department for further advice.

In common with all of the BSc programmes in the School of Biomedical Sciences, students take compulsory modules in the biomedical science disciplines.

Modules cover biochemistry, genetics, cell biology, physiology, pharmacology, cell and tissue structure and function, statistics and issues related to the practice of science, including ethics and communication.

Students are required to take core modules plus options.

Gene Cloning & Expression A/B
Human & Molecular Genetics A/B
Protein Structure & Function

Immune System in Health & Disease
Cell Biology A/B

Plus a selection of options including:

Metabolism
Essentials of Embryology
