The Master in Genomics and Genetics aims to satisfy the demand for university training, within the SUG, in theoretical and experimental biology, veterinary medicine, food technology, pharmacy, forestry-agriculture and the environment, which represents an opportunity for / the students who require more training in frontiers of knowledge and technology in the life sciences in the Autonomous Community of Galicia.

The Master's in Genomics and Genetics aims to meet the demand for highly qualified professionals for the genomics and genetics sector, which is increasingly established in our society.

Can you imagine being able to predict diseases before they appear? Or grow plants that resist pests without the need for pesticides? All this is possible thanks to genetics. With this official degree you will discover that each cell is loaded with information and you will be able to transform sectors as diverse as medicine, industry, agriculture, sport or the environment.

Future livestock models must be based on sustainability, within the framework of competitive production systems that are respectful of animal welfare. Animal genetic improvement not only contributes to the sustainability of productions and increases their profitability, but also allows, through new technologies, to improve their efficiency and adapt them to the divergent demand of consumers. Thus, population and quantitative genetics, molecular genetics and reproductive biotechnology are currently basic subjects in livestock development.

The market for seeds and other propagation materials is one of the most dynamic. Obtaining and developing new varieties, together with the associated activities, are one of the fields of technology with the greatest future prospects. The combination of conventional selection methods with new biotechnologies for the development of new materials that allow sustainable agriculture and the obtaining of higher quality products adapted to the new demands of society are and will be fields in continuous expansion. in both the private and public sectors for decades to come.

This master's degree provides advanced training, with a multidisciplinary orientation, for the academic, professional and research specialization of graduates interested in various fields of Pediatric research. It is an interuniversity master's degree with the universities of Cantabria, Granada, Rovira i Virgili and Zaragoza.
