Master of Science in Genomic Medicine
The M.Sc. in Genomic Medicine program is designed to address the critical need for the professional development of the healthcare workforce from different disciplines —including medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and biomedical sciences— in genomic knowledge that will impact their service delivery to patients in the country. In this program, the students will learn from experts in the field to prepare for a new era of personalised healthcare. It consists of courses, a laboratory, and computer-based practical sessions. This program will also promote and foster students' intellectual curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking in the practical application of genomics and bioinformatics through a project chosen from a wide selection of translational topics in the field of Genomic Medicine. The program has a thesis and non-thesis options and is offered in both full-time and part-time modes.
Program Objectives
- Deliver graduates equipped with the necessary skills to understand and integrate genomic medicine in current and future clinical practice.
- Prepare competent graduates to lead national and global health systems forward in the genomic era.
- Promoting state-of-the-art research in national health-related priority areas contributing to the advancement of knowledge in the field of Medical Genetics and Genomics.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Explain genetics concepts and the genetic basis of disease.
- Critically discuss genome technologies and their actual and potential impact in clinical practice.
- Interpret genomic information as part of a diagnostic service or treatment protocol.
- Identify the latest developments in research methodologies and clinical application.
- Formulate a research hypothesis, collect and analyse scientific data, and undertake professionally relevant research.
