Student Profiles

Stephanie

My favourite part of the Genomic Medicine course was interacting with many different healthcare professionals from a variety of backgrounds such as GPs, nurses, and other allied healthcare workers. This resulted in an enriched learning experience, which in combination with the number of modules available within the course gave me a richer understanding of how genomics is being applied across the NHS.

Amanda

The module leads and lecturers were so knowledgeable and approachable; the passion for their subjects was obvious. The modules were very well structured with plenty of resources available which aided the embedding of knowledge and understanding.

Diana

I learned laboratory skills, basic bioinformatics, genetic counselling, and ethical reasoning skills; all of which helped boost my profile in medical genetics and made me more confident in applying to PhD positions and to the STP in genomics by the NHS.
