Master of Science - Genetics

Genetics is a rapidly-progressing science, a central theme of modern biology, and a critical component of most biological research.
With a high demand for genetics graduates within New Zealand and overseas, a degree in this ground-breaking and practical discipline will provide you with many career options. Genetics is the study of genes and inheritance. It's fun, interesting, challenging and relevant to everyday life. It's a very diverse subject, in which you'll learn about the molecular basis of life right through to the study of whole organisms, populations and evolution. You will learn to make informed decisions about topics such as genetic engineering, cloning and your own health. In your lectures, you'll also learn about the cutting- edge research being undertaken at Otago and you'll have many opportunities to undertake hands-on research.

A candidate achieving the degree by papers and a thesis shall normally follow a programme for the equivalent of not less than two years of full-time study and not more than three years of full-time study, and a candidate achieving the degree by thesis alone shall normally follow a programme of study for the equivalent of not less than one year of full-time study and not more than two years of full-time study. Exceptions shall be permitted only with the approval of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Sciences).
