Overview

Do you dream of working in the medical biotech, pharma, or genomics sectors? Or maybe you want to continue in academia, progressing on to a research degree? Our MSc (Hons) Medical Genetics and Genomics prepares you for these exciting futures.

Through a mix of academic and practical learning, you’ll develop vital skills for the workplace. These include lab techniques, data handling, computing, report writing, oral presentations, and teamwork. Your communication, organisation, and research abilities will be prized by employers.

Out in the world of work, you’ll join a new generation of bioscientists. You’ll have a detailed knowledge of genetics and bioinformatics. You’ll also grasp how genomic changes cause diseases such as cancer. Crucially, this will enable you to develop new treatments through drugs, gene therapy, and prevention strategies.

By the end of the course, you’ll find a new respect for the power and importance of information and how it links to our understanding of medicine and diseases.

Careers

Our MSc (Hons) Medical Genetics & Genomics prepares you for a career at the cutting edge of medical science. Alongside training you in theory and practice, we’ll help you transition from student to professional.

Through on-the-course training, contact time with academics, and internship opportunities, we’ll arm you with the skills you need to be successful in the workplace. Many of our graduates have gone on to work in bioscience companies, diagnostic labs, diagnostic clinics, or to complete PhDs.

Popular areas of work include:

research degree/PhD
pharmaceutical industry
biomedical industry
NHS scientist
medical research
academia.

Oxford provides excellent work opportunities with Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Milton Park. Many organisations are right on our doorstep, including BacktoHealthcare, Abbott Diabetes Care, Oxford Biomedica, Oxford Science Park, and Abingdon Science Park. Many bioscience companies have spun out of Oxford Brookes and Oxford universities.

Students can also exit with Pgdip/PgCert awards.
