    Bachelor of Genetics (Honours)

    About

    The Bachelor of Genetics (Honours) degree exemplifies a commitment to research-led education. Genetics is a multidisciplinary science, which has progressed rapidly over the last fifty years, becoming increasingly important in modern society. Honours allows the exploration of research possibilities in this field from classical genetics, molecular genetics, population genetics to bioinformatics. It gives you preparation for professional life or a higher degree by research through the development of an advanced knowledge of the research principles and methods and theoretical concepts of your discipline, and through the design and implementation of a research project, which develops new understandings or provides solutions to complex problems. Honours Specialisations are available that mirror the teaching and research strengths at the ANU in genetics.
