Taught Masters

The Department runs and contributes to taught MSc courses that allow students to gather further specialised training before embarking on a career in research or elsewhere.

MSc in Genetics of Human Disease

This MSc is run by the UCL Genetics Institute (UGI) within GEE. It provides scientists and clinicians with an in-depth knowledge of the genetics of human disease and how this can be applied to improve healthcare through the development and application of diagnostic tests and therapeutic agents. The one year full time course, led by directors Prof Steve Humphries and Prof Andres Ruiz-Linares, draws together cross-departmental teaching (Biology, Medicine, Psychology, Anthropology, Statistics) providing a thorough grounding in modern approaches to the understanding of the genetics of disease. The core modules provide a broad coverage of the genetics of disease, research skills and social aspects, whilst specialised modules allow a more in depth analysis of two or more specialised subject areas. All course modules are supplemented with talks from the Henry Stewart Talks collection. The two research projects, one library-based and the other generating new data, provide in-depth research experience in two areas of genetics.

MSc in Pharmacogenetics and Stratified Medicine

The brand new MSc in Pharmacogenetics and Stratified Medicine, run by the UCL Genetics Institute (UGI) within GEE, will provide scientists and clinicians with an in-depth knowledge of: the pharmacology of drugs; the consequences of drug treatment for individuals with respect to their genotype; the analysis and statistical methods used to study population groups and how this knowledge can be applied to improve human health, drug efficacy and alleviate human disease through the development and application of diagnostic tests or therapeutic agents.
