Summary

Genome sequencing is revolutionising the field of medicine. The ability to sequence and analyse the genome of individuals in a fast and inexpensive manner provides an unprecedented level of genetic information associated with health and disease. The data processing of such levels of information is challenging, and requires specialised skills in genomics, health, and data analysis.

Our MSc Health Genomics course trains you to analyse genomic data in connection with health and disease. You explore how genome sequences are analysed and receive hands-on experience in data analysis. You also study gene and genome technologies and have the opportunity to develop your professional skills.

MSc Health Genomics covers the following topics including:

  • gene technologies and general genomics

  • bioinformatics and computational biology

  • data analysis and computing programming

  • state-of-the-art genome-wide analysis techniques

  • statistical analysis of biomedical data
