Our MSc in Genomic Medicine is accredited by Health Education England and designed to fulfil the aspirations of the 100,000 Genome Project to create a world-class NHS workforce that understands and applies genomics for patient care.
We emphasise the practice of genomics and bioinformatics in the NHS and academia as a partnership between multiple stakeholders, including clinical, academic and industrial involvement. As such, you will learn from clinical experts from the Manchester Centre for Genomic Medicine, The University of Manchester, The University of Liverpool, North West Coast (NWC) Genomic Medicine Centre, AstraZeneca and Qiagen.
NHS professionals will learn how genomics impact on their area of clinical practice and how they can apply their new knowledge in their workplace.
We require an undergraduate degree (normally an Upper Second) or overseas equivalent in: biomedical science, medicine, or nursing. Flexibility on entry requirements will be applied to candidates with appropriate extensive professional experience. Subject to confirmation of suitability, the following number of credits can be accepted as Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL): MSc: 60 credits, PGDip: 45 credits, PGCert: 15 credits. Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) will also be considered on an individual basis. This course is also available for intercalating medical students, both from the University of Manchester and other UK universities, upon completion of their third year. For St Andrews students, this includes the three-year course plus the following one or two years spent in Manchester. Intercalating medical students need to have passed all assessments at first attempt (if they are third year) or have no fails in third year if they are fourth year.
