Personalised Medicine with optional placement year - BSc (Hons)

Study Personalised Medicine at Ulster University in the United Kingdom.

Personalised Medicine (also known as stratified medicine or precision medicine) is at the cutting edge of a new era in healthcare.

By learning how genes, lifestyle and the environment influence disease and affect the success of treatments, we can understand which treatments are best for each patient. Personalised Medicine involves discovering biomarkers (such as genes or proteins) that can determine who is at risk of developing a disease, how severe the disease will be and who will respond better to one therapy versus another, revolutionising how quickly patients receive effective treatment and transforming the efficiency of healthcare.

Personalised Medicine draws on molecular biology, data analytics and clinical practice to streamline healthcare, identifying ‘the right treatment, for the right person, at the right time.

Our course is taught by a team of experienced and active research scientists, with contributions from industry experts and hospital doctors. Our course received 100% overall satisfaction in the 2023 National Student Survey and 90% of graduates were in full time work or study within 6 months of graduation.
