Bachelor's
Bachelor of Science (Genetics and Genomics) – UG
Course Overview
The Bachelor of Science (Genetics and Genomics) provides students with an in-depth understanding of heredity, genetic variation, and the molecular mechanisms that regulate life. The programme explores molecular genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, cell biology, developmental biology, and genome technologies through a combination of lectures, laboratory classes, and research-based learning.
Students gain practical experience in DNA sequencing, genetic analysis, computational biology, and modern laboratory techniques while developing strong analytical and problem-solving skills. The curriculum highlights the growing role of genomics in healthcare, biotechnology, agriculture, and precision medicine. Graduates are well prepared for careers in genetic research, biotechnology, clinical laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, or postgraduate study.
