Genomics is the study of the body’s genes, their functions and their influence on the growth, development and working of the body. Genomic technologies are increasingly enabling us to predict and diagnose inherited and acquired disease, and to personalise treatments and interventions.
This BSc will provide a comprehensive understanding of genomic medicine, providing a platform for future doctors to adapt to the increasing integration of genomic medicine into routine clinical care. You will work with leading scientists, bioinformaticians and experienced clinical geneticists from across the University to gain a solid grounding in fundamental genetic and genomic knowledge. You will explore the social and ethical aspects of the exploitation of genetic knowledge, as well as gain hands on research experience through the completion of an individual research project.
