Course summary

Discover breakthroughs in the genetic basis of diseases and explore the potential of targeted therapies and personalised medicine. Driven to save lives and make an impact? Here you’ll learn how to do exactly that from pioneers in medicine and the sciences. One recent breakthrough by our genetics researchers could help develop treatments for cancer – scientists discovered a molecular lock that prevents genetic mistakes when cells divide. Taught by both the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, you’ll benefit from the strengths of both schools, their academic experts and their top facilities. This course will set you up for careers in biomedical or genetic research, biotechnology, and bioinformatics/data science. It's also one of the many possible pathways into medicine. Learn to carry out research Building a strong scientific understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of human health is central to the course. You’ll also look at the development of disease and explore the evolution of diseases within human populations. Our experts will discuss mitochondrial and human genomes while introducing you to medical research, genetic counselling, and bioethics. All this knowledge will help you design your own project. You’ll learn what it takes to become a researcher whose work saves lives and shapes the future.
