Overview

In the Medical Genetics and Genomics programme at the Oxford Brookes University, you will develop your transferable skills, particularly in communication, organisation and research planning. These skills will assist you when carrying out your research project.

Quick Facts:

Our understanding of the genome is always growing. Recent discoveries have led to the different “omics” areas of modern research and application. These include genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.

In the past, we used to start looking at the individual gene. On the MSc degree, we’ll look at whole genomes and mine huge datasets, drawing information from the sequencing from thousands of genes and genomes.

Key modules will include advanced molecular techniques, advances in medical genetics, bioinformatics, and more. You’ll also have the exciting opportunity to complete a research project. This tutor-supported, individual computational-based (or lab project), will give you the chance to showcase your creativity and expertise.
