COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bioinformatics Genomics degree offers a comprehensive exploration of the rapidly advancing field of genomics, integrating biology, computing, and medicine to develop highly skilled graduates prepared for research and professional careers. In the first year, students build a strong foundation through compulsory modules including Cell and Microbiology, Essential Skills for Bioscientists, Fundamentals of Chemistry, Fundamentals of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Genetics and Disease, and Human Anatomy and Physiology, developing both theoretical knowledge and practical laboratory skills. The second year advances this foundation with modules such as Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, Fundamentals of Pharmacology, Research, Development and Leadership, Infection and Immunity, Genetics and Evolution, and Proteins and Enzymes, providing students with a deeper understanding of biological systems and computational analysis. In the final year, students focus on advanced topics and applied practice through modules including Nanobiology, Genomics and Bioinformatics, Population Genetics and Genomics, Data Science in Health and Well-being, Bioinformatics Genomics Practice, and a Final Year Research Project. Throughout the program, students gain hands-on experience in laboratory techniques, data analysis, and research methodology, preparing them to interpret complex genomic data and contribute to advancements in healthcare, biotechnology, and related fields. The degree equips graduates with the knowledge, skills, and research experience required for successful careers in bioinformatics and genomics.
