About Human Genetics, BA (Hons) - at Trinity College Dublin

What is human genetics?

Human genetics is the study of genes - or heredity - in humans. It also examines the effects of these genes on both individuals and societies. It has developed rapidly in the last decade as new technology has made it possible to study genes in much greater detail. Examples of remarkable advances in knowledge include:

The discovery of the molecular basis of many inherited disorders

The ability to trace the evolution of mankind

The application of DNA finger-printing to forensic science

Is this the right course for me?

Human genetics is a knowledge-driven, dynamic and exciting field. As most graduates of this programme go on to careers in research, however, you must be prepared to take this route as a career option.
