Our Virtual Open Day, on Thursday, 21 November 2024, 11.00-12:00, is a great way to find out more about studying MSc Applied Genomics at Imperial College’s Faculty of Medicine.
This virtual event will include presentations from the course and module leaders, discussing teaching, research projects, assessments, and course delivery, as well as also featuring a short session with former and current students. And is a great opportunity to quiz our teams and decide if this is the course. We look forward to seeing you there.
About the course
Our MSc Applied Genomics explores how ‘big data’ (omics) can be generated and used to understand the mechanisms underlying biological processes and diseases on this Master’s course.
Designed for those interested in a career in modern biomedicine, you will learn to extract relevant information and perform functional analysis on selected targets. During your studies, you will examine a range of new concepts in modern biomedical research and improve your analytical skills in practical sessions.
You will also apply novel experimental techniques in the laboratory to better understand the causes, and potential cures, for diseases. A six-month research project forms a major component of this course, where you will become a member of a host lab and undertake innovative research culminating in an MSc thesis and oral assessment.
