Excellent Preparation for Genetics at University
This diploma serves as an essential foundation for those planning to pursue Genetics at the university level.

Widely recognised by universities throughout the UK, this diploma thoroughly prepares you for various specialisations in genetics. Our curriculum includes vital topics through units including Academic Writing Skills, Musculoskeletal System, and Chemistry for Biologists, providing you with both the specific knowledge and the study skills needed for university success. Additionally, with an Individual Learning Plan, you can effectively manage your assignment deadlines and maintain consistent progress in your studies.
