COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Genomic Medicine provides a comprehensive curriculum designed to prepare students for careers in clinical genomics, research, and precision medicine. Core modules cover fundamental topics in human genetics, genomics of common and rare inherited diseases, and omics techniques, giving students a solid foundation in both theoretical and applied aspects of genomic science. Emphasis is placed on practical skills, including bioinformatics, data interpretation, statistical analysis, and quality assurance, ensuring graduates can critically evaluate and manage genomic data in clinical and research settings. The program includes a substantial research project, enabling students to apply their knowledge to real-world genomic medicine challenges and develop independent investigative skills. Optional modules broaden the scope of learning, covering areas such as health informatics, pharmacogenomics, stratified healthcare, counselling skills for genomics, and the economics of genomics and precision medicine, providing interdisciplinary insight into the applications of genomic knowledge in healthcare systems. This combination of core and optional modules ensures that graduates gain a deep understanding of genomics alongside practical and professional skills that are essential for effective patient care, research innovation, and policy development. Graduates emerge well-prepared for careers in clinical practice, biomedical research, health technology, and further doctoral study in genomic medicine and related fields.
