Course summary

Build your knowledge to better understand how genomic data impacts patient diagnosis, care and treatment. You’ll cover all major aspects of genomic science and medicine including the latest advances in the field. Designed to suit students from a range of science and healthcare backgrounds. You will receive rigorous training in genomics and apply it to clinical practice and medical research. You will be taught through a blended format of learning that incorporates face-to-face and online teaching, live webinars, and self-study across eight taught modules. Each module runs for four consecutive weeks, one week of which consists of face-to-face on campus teaching in London. Assessments are submitted at the end of each module. Study all six core modules, two optional courses and complete an extended research project. This project provides you with an opportunity to explore medical genomics using a range of research strategies. Students may conduct wet or dry lab research in any area of genomic medicine. The course programme collaborates closely with the Institute of Cancer Research and Brunel University London to provide a broader range of training. Short courses in Genomic Medicine Modules offered as part of our MSc Genomic Medicine can be taken as standalone short courses. For full details and to register, see Short courses on the NHLI website.
