Overview

Genomic Medicine from University of Cambridge allows students to complete a research focussed degree incorporating a large element of data science-related teaching.

The MRes will first equip research students with the skills necessary to undertake computational genomics projects through a taught programme. Students then utilise these skills to plan and complete a research project.

It is hoped the MRes in Genomic Medicine will contribute to the training of scientists in data science skills to work within the framework established by Genomics England and the NHS Genomic Medicine Service.

By contract the MPhil in Medical Science (Medical Genetics) is entirely by Research and does not include these taught elements.

The overall educational aims of the programme are to:

provide a research environment where students can learn the practical skills required for performing research in Genomic Medicine;
prepare and upskill students with the most up to date computational and bioinformatic knowledge for performing genomic research;
develop students independent research skills and understanding of research methodologies and clinical opportunities relevant to genomic medicine;
develop researchers competence in using genomic and data science technologies for biomedical research;
prepare students for either higher study (PhD/MD) or career roles in a research-intensive environment in genomic medicine-related fields;
develop a cohort of students who are proficient in the wide variety of research skills necessary to plan and deliver Genomic Medicine research projects;
encourage a commitment to intellectual challenge and evidence-based clinical practice informed by the latest conceptual and theoretical knowledge of genomic medicine.
