In addition to didactic large group teaching sessions, the program is also delivered through small group teaching sessions, problem-based learning, laboratory practical, workshops, tutorials, seminars, and presentations. Such sessions will provide opportunities for the development of a range of skills necessary for a career in genetics. The Master’s thesis in the final semester provides an opportunity for students to conduct research in the various domains of human genetics. We also encourage students to acquire critical thinking and analytical skills necessary for careers in research, academics and industry.
