MSc Precision Medicine

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time, 5 years flexible

Masters Degree Description

This full-time or part-time MSc in Precision Medicine is an multidisciplinary course relating to the understanding of disease, and the technologies that detect, diagnose and treat them. It is ideally suited for life sciences graduates who want to pursue a career in industry or academia related to this growing field, as well as medical students doing an intercalated degree.

Recent advances in omics technology and the growing availability of health data obtained via molecular profiling, medical imaging and diagnostic testing have opened new opportunities to design and test treatments. Life or medical science graduates with enhanced skills and knowledge are highly valued in this rapidly growing area of science.

This internationally-renowned, multidisciplinary programme equips you with cutting-edge knowledge relating to the mechanistic understanding of disease. You will learn about the technologies that detect, diagnose, and treat causal factors of disease, while developing advanced knowledge in all aspects of Precision Medicine.

The course covers genomics, bioinformatics, structural biology, genetics and epigenetics of disease and their precision diagnosis and treatment, biomedical imaging techniques, nanomedicines, and the generation and analysis of big data.

Entry Requirements

An upper second-class Bachelor of Science honours degree in a relevant subject from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard, or an appropriate professional qualification or relevant work experience.
