Course content

Our degrees in Genomic Medicine cover all aspects of genomic science and medicine, and will equip you with the knowledge and skills to be able to interpret and understand genomic data that increasingly impacts on service delivery to patients and the community.

The programme is aimed at students from a wide range of backgrounds, from basic scientists to all levels of healthcare professionals, and will provide a flexible, multi-disciplinary and multi-professional perspective in genomics, applied to clinical practice and medical research.

It is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to be able to interpret and understand genomic data that increasingly impacts on service delivery to patients and the community.

The training provided covers all aspects of genomic science and medicine (not merely DNA sequencing or detection of genetic variation), undertaken in one of the most cutting-edge scientific environments.

The course includes collaborations with:

• the Institute of Cancer Research (providing the core Cancer Genomics Module)
• Brunel University London (providing the optional Economic Evaluation in Human Genomics Module)

The Institute of Cancer Research and Brunel University London may also co-supervise research projects.

The programme is one of the preferred providers for Health Education England and upholds the values of the NHS Constitution.
