This programme focuses on the application of quantitative and population genetics to evolutionary biology, emphasising the conceptual underpinnings of the field. It also offers rigorous training in statistical genetics and exposure to other applications of quantitative genetics. If you are interested in the genetic underpinnings to organic evolution, this degree could be for you. The programme offers a small cohort experience taught by active members of the quantitative genetics/genomics research community from across the University of Edinburgh and Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC). We will provide you with the theory and knowledge of analytical tools so that you can tackle a wide range of problems. You will study alongside students with a broad spectrum of interests using quantitative genetic tools, including human genetics and evolutionary biology. Likewise, the staff involved in teaching will come from different disciplines.
