Genomics is a rapidly evolving field, critical to cutting-edge health care and personalised medicine. We offer the only Graduate Diploma in Diagnostic Genomics in Australasia. 

 

This course is ideal for healthcare professionals who are looking to develop specialist expertise and improve their knowledge of this growing discipline and its applications in health care. Similarly, it is an ideal avenue for genetic scientists who are already qualified but are motivated to stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and applications. Areas of study include diagnostic genetics; genetic technologies; genome analysis (variant curation); laboratory management, compliance and quality; and the ethical, legal and social issues.    

 

The opportunity to choose a specialty stream allows you to align this study with your career goals. Specialty units include molecular genetics, and cytogenetics. 

 

You will be taught by leading researchers from the Genomics Research Centre, a research facility that focuses on the identification of genes involved in common human disorders and the translation of this research into new diagnostics and therapeutics. 

 

Guest lecturers will offer insight into cross-disciplinary professions including ethics, genetic counselling, medical genetics, law, and bioinformatics.
