PG Credit Genomic Medicine CPD

The University holds regular open days, where you will have the opportunity to tour the campus and find out more about our facilities and courses. On this day, you will find out more about the course and meet academic and admissions staff who will be able to answer any questions you have. For more information, see Open days .

You should apply for this course by completing our online application form . See the Advice to applicants section for details of the supporting documents we require with your form.

We recommend that you apply as early as possible; we accept applications on a rolling basis up until two weeks before the start of each unit or until the unit is full. Please contact the admissions team stating the units you are interested in and we can advise if places are still available. Late applications may be considered.

We reserve the right to close applications earlier if the course is full.

Your application form must be accompanied by supporting documents. 

• Degree certificate.
• A personal statement - approximately 300-500 words about why you wish to take this course and how it will affect your personal and professional development. This statement should try and refer to your current role.
• Full curriculum vitae including voluntary experience.

If any of the supporting documents are not in English, you must also provide us with official or certified English translations.

If English is not your first language, we require proof of your English language ability. If you have already taken an English language qualification, please include your certificate with your application. We may be willing to consider your application without this document, but if we choose to make you an offer, the conditions will include IELTS (or equivalent qualification).

If you are interested in studying genomic medicine at postgraduate level to further your professional prospects, but don't have the time to dedicate to a full master's course, you can take one or more units from our Genomic Medicine MSc course as standalone continuing professional development (CPD) courses.

We offer a range of units as short CPD courses, with most focusing on face-to-face interaction with our genomic medicine experts. Some units are taught using blended learning - a combination of face-to-face and online elements - for further flexibility. Units are generally delivered in blocks over consecutive days as opposed to weekly.

So far, I have completed four modules on Bioinformatics, Human Genetics, Pharmacogenomics and Genetic Counselling. I can honestly say that I have thoroughly enjoyed each of these and they have opened my eyes to the potential transformation of healthcare in the NHS through genomic medicine.
