Structure
What you’ll study
In our Master of Biomedical Science (Genomics and Precision Medicine) you’ll study 48 credit points of subjects, including two 6 credit point core units in Clinical Laboratory Science and Genomics, Omics and Medical Applications.
You will also complete 24 credit points of stream selective units spanning Cancer and Pathogen Genomics, Disease Diagnosis and Treatment, and Genomics in Clinical Practice. Alternatively, complement your studies with an elective before embarking on your 12 credit point capstone which can be a research project or an industry-related project.
Capstone
You will undertake a capstone experience in the form of two 6 credit point project units. You have the option of choosing an industry project or a genomics-related research project as your capstone experience, depending on your interests.
Depending on the project, the genomics-related research capstone may take place with an industry partner. The capstone units enable you to bring together concepts, principles and applications in genomics developed across your award course and synthesise this with your prior learning and experience into a workable research protocol or industry project. The capstone tests your ability to integrate and consolidate your learning.
