Genetics Course Planner
Whilst students might be keen to select their majors early on in their degree, we encourage students to wait until the end of their first year. At the beginning of their first year many students do not know what majors they want to take. And even if a student does know what majors they want to take they often change their minds during their first year because they develop new interests as they are exposed to a wide range of ideas. Therefore, it is a good idea to study a broad range of courses in your first year to keep as many options open as possible.
After your first year if you are keen to continuing with genetics you have the option of taking either a single major or double major in genetics.
Major in Genetics
A major in Genetics must include a minimum of 42 units from the following set of courses:
| First Year, we recommend that you take both: |
| BIOL1003 Evolution, Ecology and Genetics |
| BIOL1004 Molecular Biology |
| |
| Second Year, you must include 6 units from: |
| BIOL2151 Introductory Genetics |
| BIOL2152 Advances in Human Genetics |
| BIOL2161 Genes: Replication and Expression |
| BIOL2162 Molecular Biotechnology |
| |
| You must also include 12 units of: |
| BIAN2115 Race and Human Genetic Variation |
| STAT3008 Applied Statistics |
| Any course with a BIOL prefix |
|
| Third Year, at least 18 units of: |
| BIOL3131 Evolutionary and Behavioural Ecology |
| BIOL3138 Special Topics in Ecology, Evolution & Systematics (6 units) |
| BIOL3139 Special Topics in Ecology, Evolution & Systematics (12 units) |
| BIOL3151 Population Genetics |
| BIOL3157 Advanced Genetics & Bioinformatics |
| BIOL3161 Genomics & its Applications |
| BIOL3174 Research Projects (6 units) |
| BIOL3175 Research Projects (12 units) |
| BIOL3177 Advances in Molecular Plant Science |
| BIOL3181 Current Topics in Development and Molecular Biology |
| BIOL3191 Biotechnology in Context |
|
Other requirements: All students are encouraged to take at least one Chemistry course. Students taking later year Biochemistry and Molecular Biology courses must complete both first year Chemistry courses, CHEM1101 and CHEM1102.
Double Major in Genetics
| You must include 60 units from: |
| BIOL1003 Evolution, Ecology and Genetics |
| BIOL1004 Molecular Biology |
| BIOL2151 Introductory Genetics |
| BIOL2161 Genes: Replication and Expression |
| BIOL3157 Advanced Genetics & Bioinformatics |
| BIOL3161 Genomics & its Applications |
|
| Including at least 24 units from: |
| BIOL3131 Evolutionary and Behavioural Ecology |
| BIOL3138 Special Topics in Ecology, Evolution & Systematics (6 units) |
| BIOL3139 Special Topics in Ecology, Evolution & Systematics (12 units) |
| BIOL3151 Population Genetics |
| BIOL3174 Research Projects (6 units) |
| BIOL3175 Research Projects (12 units) |
| BIOL3177 Advances in Molecular Plant Science |
| BIOL3181 Current Topics in Development and Molecular Biology |
