Summary
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.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | You should normally hold a UK honours degree at 2.2. or above in the Life Sciences field, OR equivalent overseas degree from a recognised institution in Life Sciences. Other qualifications may be considered under exceptional circumstances when accompanied by highly relevant professional experience.

Summary
Our MSc / PGDip / PGCert Medical Genetics and Genomics course is for graduates aiming for careers in the medical biotechnology, pharma and genomics sectors. As well as for those progressing to research degrees.
With the increase in number of individual genomes being sequenced, this is one of the fastest growing areas of biomedical science.
You will join a new generation of scientists able to combine genetics and bioinformatics to:
- understand how genomic changes cause diseases such as cancer
- enable the development of novel treatments through drugs, gene therapy and prevention strategies.
Your projects can be linked with specific workplace needs and interests. You can complete these either at Oxford Brookes or within other genomic laboratories with our supervision. You will develop your transferable skills, particularly in communication, organisation and research planning. These skills will assist you when carrying out your research project.
