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.
