This course is designed to prepare you for a genetics research career, either in human gene function and genetic disease, or molecular approaches to diagnosis, or health care biotechnology. It provides a broad grounding in Human Genetics, with emphasis on molecular aspects, to give a solid basis for subsequent academic or industrial research, or for entry to NHS Genetics training. Career Opportunities: Approximately 50% of our students go on to do a PhD, 25% become research assistants/associates, while others go on to jobs in industry or further studies (bioinformatics/ computing medicine). Typically one or two students every year enter the NHS in clinical genetics training posts. Imperial College works closely with employers and industry, including Industrial Advisory Panels to design Master-s courses which provide graduates with technical knowledge, expertise and transferable skills and to encourage students to take internships and placements. All Master-s courses are designed with employer needs in mind with some Master-s courses accredited by Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies. Most Master-s courses offer an opportunity to carry out research projects in industry.
