Course summary
The Genetics of Human Disease MSc aims to equip students with an in-depth knowledge of fundamental genetic concepts together with advanced statistical and computational approaches. It focuses on up-to-date multi-disciplinary research and developments in discovering genetic factors contributing to disease susceptibility and progression, and how this can be applied to improve healthcare. The programme provides a thorough grounding in modern approaches to the understanding of the genetics of human disease alongside the cutting-edge research methods and techniques used for establishing the involvement of genetic factors in disease. Compulsory modules provide a broad coverage of the genetics of disease, research skills, and social aspects, whilst specialised streams in Inherited Diseases, Pharmacogenetics, and Computational Genomics, in which students can qualify, and the research project allow more in-depth analysis in specific areas of genetics.
