Genomic medicine is no longer a vision for the future. In the UK, the NHS aims to make genomic sequencing part of routine care. We've invested heavily in genomics, with extensive expertise in cutting-edge technologies and world-leading genomic research.
Developed in partnership with Health Education England (NHSE), our programme is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to understand how cutting-edge genomics is transforming clinical practice.
You'll acquire expertise in bioinformatics, genomic sequencing, rare disorders, infectious disease, cancer, epigenomics and more, benefiting from our flexible study options and variety of optional modules to bolster your career needs.
We’ve got more than £7 million in scholarships available for undergraduate and postgraduate students applying to study with us in the 2026/27 academic year, including our esteemed Exeter Excellence Scholarship - as well as regional automatic scholarships and partner scholarships with organisations such as The British Council, Chevening and The Beacon Trust.

"Everything is so varied, and we get to choose quite a few of our modules as well as having the compulsory modules; it’s great that you have lots of opportunity to choose to study what interests you. You are getting the breadth of genomics but are also still able to go into depth and learn a lot of detail with each module and really develop your area of interest
There’s really been a lot of support in the cohort from our peers and it’s great that we’ve been able to make friends. There’s also a nice mix of professionals and recent graduates all with a range of backgrounds and ages and we are able to learn from each other’s experiences."
