Overview

Bachelor of Science - Genetics

A key focus of the Bachelor of Science is understanding, reasoning and improving the natural world through systematic observation, experimentation, modelling and calculation. 

A quality education in science from UWA will equip you with attributes that are highly valued and sought after by a diverse range of employers around the globe. 

The Bachelor of Science allows you to harness the skills and knowledge necessary to contribute to humanity's global challenges.

Your studies in genetics involve the analysis of DNA and the many ways it is expressed. 

This major delivers a broad overview of the universal principles, potentials and problems associated with DNA-based life and provides you with the essential skills of a geneticist. 

Through a combination of hands-on laboratory sessions, teamwork, interactive tutorials and theoretical foundations, you'll develop skills in critical thinking, experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, and oral and written communication skills.
