Program Description 
The field of Human Genetics is a branch of bio-medical sciences which investigates the chromosome and gene structure of cells. The field includes a number of orientations such as Genetic Engineering, Immunogenetics, Population Genetics, Cancer Genetics, Behavioral Genetics and Biochemical Genetics. The graduates with a master's degree in this field will be able to perform genetic analysis of human cells and detect certain chromosomal and gene disorders. 
The Human Genetics, at master's level, will offers both taught courses and research programs, helping students to develop their theoretical, communication and practical skills on the broad discipline of Human and Medical Genetics with a special emphasis upon the molecular aspects of the subjects. The program is intended to develop student skills in appreciating and applying the techniques of molecular genetics and cytogenetics to target the existing problems in education and research and to apply their genetic knowledge to offer effective services in laboratory fields.
The students are assisted in developing their analytical and presentational skills and are encouraged to integrate their course modules and research, and publish their research findings in scientific journals on Human Genetics.
