Course summary

Learn how genomics can help understand and diagnose diseases, personalise treatment and improve health outcomes. Every individual is unique – our genomes and the way they respond to disease and infection is different. By understanding what’s going on in our bodies, we can work towards a future where healthcare is personalised, and patients' needs are targeted more effectively. Genomics is evolving rapidly and making an impact across oncology, pharmacology, cardiovascular disease and neuroscience. This course is jointly taught with City St George’s University of London and follows a curriculum designed by NHS England. This means you’ll have access to extensive expertise in areas like bioinformatics and cardiovascular genomics. Both institutions are also part of the South East Genomic Laboratory Hub. This is one of the largest providers of genomic testing in the UK and a national centre for specialist testing for haematology, respiratory, skin conditions, and more. You might already work within the NHS – we have nurses, doctors, pharmacists, midwives and other healthcare professionals join the course. Other students have decided to retrain in a new area or are recent graduates in a related area like biotechnology or the biomedical sciences. As well as the MSc, the course is structured flexibly to provide options for PgDip and PgCert awards. You can also study it on a modular basis towards your Professional Development (CPD). Both the MSc and PgDip have full-time and part-time options which will help you combine your studies with work or other extra-academic commitments.
