Overview

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. All admitted students will initially be enrolled in the non-thesis track. Transition to the thesis track will be permitted only after a student secures a supervisor who agrees to oversee his/her research project and meets specific criteria based on academic performance, research skills, career goals, commitment, and time availability.
