Our BSc Genetics (including foundation year) will be suitable for you if your academic qualifications do not yet meet our entry requirements for the three-year version of this course and you want a degree that improves your academic skills to support your academic performance.

This four-year course includes a foundation year (known as Year Zero) which is delivered by our Essex Pathways Department, followed by a further three years of study in our School of Life Sciences. During Year Zero, you study three academic subjects relevant to your chosen course as well as a compulsory academic skills module, with additional English language for non-English speakers. After successful completion of Year Zero, you progress to complete your course with our School of Life Sciences.

In your three years with our School of Life Sciences you will focus on real-world biomedical applications, including how cells differentiate to form the specialised tissues present in complex organisms, and how the delicate regulation of cell growth can be disrupted and lead to cancer. The study of genetics includes understanding how genes are passed from one generation to the next, how DNA works and the effects of variation and natural selection. You will learn modern lab techniques and play your own part in adding to the ever-growing knowledge within genetics.

We also work with our University's Student Development Team to help you find out about further work experience, internships, placements, and voluntary opportunities.

“There were lots of reasons I wanted to study at Essex, including its reputation, the course, and the option to take a year out in industry, so I’d have relevant experience after I graduated. But I really knew Essex was for me when I came to visit and saw the campus.

“I most enjoyed learning about the applications of genetic technologies to aid in disease treatment. It was great to see the scientific building blocks learnt in first year translate into tangible solutions during second year. Now, I’m working on my own business, Syrona, a home testing kit for gynaecological cancers and endometriosis. It’s about helping women understand their bodies more, and helping them lead healthier lives.”
