Genetics and Multiomics in Medicine MSc

UCL (University College London)

This highly regarded MSc in Genetics and Multiomics in Medicine offers you an unparalleled opportunity to specialise in this sought-after area of medical science. You will develop detailed knowledge and practical skills in complex multiomics data, working with UCL's globally renowned experts, and be well prepared for specialist careers in healthcare, industry, or research. Omics describes a range of analytical techniques (including genomics, metabolomics, and proteomics) that are essential contributors to understanding human disease and developing personalised therapeutic strategies. The complexity of multiomics data requires multidisciplinary knowledge and the capacity to integrate information to answer challenging medical or scientific questions. This MSc will give you the knowledge and practical training to analyse genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and phenomics data, and the skills to prepare, carry out and present the results of your research to a variety of audiences. You will study in UCL's world-class research and healthcare environment in genetics and omics science, based at the UCL Centre for Genetics and Genomics at UCL Royal Free Hospital. Part of a vibrant ecosystem of academics, clinicians, and researchers, you will work alongside world-leading scientists, carry out your own significant research, and benefit from our state-of-the-art facilities. The skills you develop will form a solid foundation for building a successful career in academic and industrial research, clinical medical genetics, or bioinformatics. This programme for students from a variety of scientific backgrounds, from scientists and statisticians to computer professionals and clinicians. The complex nature of the problems tackled by this area of medical science makes this subject particularly relevant to students who are looking for a challenge and the chance to work in a multidisciplinary environment.
