About this course

Biomedical science is increasingly data driven and a wide range of state-of-the-art techniques in cancer genomics and data science is required to analyse multi-layer large scale cancer datasets and derive meaningful interpretable results. However, there is a serious shortage of well-trained people who have the relevant skillset and hands-on experience in real world biomedical and cancer data.

  • Join a programme designed and delivered by world-class experts in genomics and data science, who actively develop and apply computational tools to answer research questions

  • Gain hands-on experience using real world patient and experimental data

  • Learn up-to-date analytic techniques and bioinformatics/computational tools in biomedical and cancer research

  • Complete a substantial individual research project to expand your analytic skills and research experience

  • Study online so you can fit your studies around your other commitments. You can also choose to study in person with our on campus programme
