Course summary

This full-time or part-time Precision Medicine MSc is an multidisciplinary course relating to the understanding of disease, and the technologies that detect, diagnose and treat them. It is ideally suited for life sciences and medical sciences graduates who want to pursue a career in industry or academia related to this growing field. Recent advances in omics technology and the growing availability of health data obtained via molecular profiling, medical imaging and diagnostic testing have opened new opportunities to design and test treatments. Life or medical science graduates with enhanced skills and knowledge are highly valued in this rapidly growing area of science. This multidisciplinary programme equips you with cutting-edge knowledge relating to the mechanistic understanding of disease. You will learn about the technologies that detect, diagnose, and treat causal factors of disease, while developing advanced knowledge in all aspects of Precision Medicine. The course covers genomics, bioinformatics, structural biology, genetics and epigenetics of disease and their precision diagnosis and treatment, biomedical imaging techniques, nanomedicines, and the generation and analysis of big data. You will gain awareness of the context in which Precision Medicine is being applied in healthcare, research and industry. You will also develop a range of intellectual, practical and transferable skills essential for a career in this field. The course is delivered by clinical and scientific experts from across UCL and industry and is run in partnership with UCL Hospitals.
