The BSc (Hons) Bioinformatics Genomics at the University of West London equips you to become an independent practitioner and researcher in fields ranging from human health and therapeutic development to improving animal, plant, and food health. You will gain a foundational understanding of the genetic causes of diseases before developing specialist knowledge in vital areas such as DNA sequencing, proteomics, and molecular pathology. This undergraduate degree is ideal for students eager to explore the intersection of biology, computing, and medicine, preparing you for impactful work in a rapidly advancing scientific landscape.
Studied full-time on campus over three years, your learning experience will involve hands-on work with data analysis and modelling in R, collecting and analysing real-life data, and mastering bioinformatics and genomics techniques like BLAST, Phylogenetics, and CRISPR in our dedicated workstations and simulation suites. You will benefit from regular work experience opportunities, workshops on interview techniques, and a mentoring programme. The University of West London's strong industry links will expose you to seminar series with organisations like Genomics England and provide pathways to careers as a bioinformatician (genomics) in diverse sectors.
