Overview

Genomic medicine is revolutionising the future of healthcare, allowing for faster, more accurate diagnosis and effective treatments.
With increasing demand for skilled professionals in this field, our programme equips you with essential biological expertise alongside sought-after data science skills, empowering you to drive transformative progress in genomic medicine.
You will be taught by world-leading academics in genomics research and health data science, including multifactorial traits and pharmacogenomics, and learn how genomics data is analysed and applied in clinical medicine.
Benefit from our flexible study options – study full or part time, with a variety of optional modules to complement your career needs.
NHS employees in England can apply for funding from NHS England (NHSE; formerly Health Education England) to undertake up to a maximum of four modules (PGCert) in the first instance.

Careers
Who is this course for?

This course is suitable for anyone who is interested in pursuing a career or further study in genomics or health data science. We welcome students from broad backgrounds including biology, health sciences as well as students from computer science, maths, physics or engineering backgrounds with an interest in data science in the field of genomics.

With a focus on genomic medicine and data science, you will delve into the latest advancements in genomics and learn how to leverage data-driven insights to enhance patient care. From improving diagnosis to personalising treatment plans, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of how genomic knowledge translates into tangible benefits for patients. Additionally, you’ll acquire essential skills in disseminating knowledge to peers, patients and the public, empowering you to effectively communicate the impact of genomic precision medicine.

Career paths

Healthcare professionals will advance their careers with refined capabilities in genomic medicine and data science, poised to optimise patient care within the NHS and beyond. Students who are not healthcare professionals will gain key knowledge, understanding and skills to help secure employment or PhD positions in the fields of genomics, bioinformatics, or other medically-related research and development in either academia, pharmaceutical or biotech industries.
