Teaching methods - what to expect
The course is delivered at both City St George’s Tooting campus and King’s College London campuses.
We share our site with one of the UK’s largest teaching hospitals giving you the chance to learn in a busy healthcare environment. Most of our teaching staff have previously worked in genomics across a range of specialist areas, so you will learn from academics, researchers and clinicians with real on-the-job experience.
We use a patient-centred approach in our education. We invite representatives from patient groups or someone who has been through a genetic process to share their experience and what it meant to them.
We teach in blocks of five consecutive working days for each module, most of them in person, with our timetable running from approximately 9.00 - 17.00
How our experts teach depends on the course content, but we recognise that our students have different learning styles. On this course, you can expect a diverse range of:
- Computer-based sessions
- Guest lectures including talks from patients
- Multidisciplinary group discussions
- Face to face lectures
- Self-directed learning
- Practical workshops
- Tutorials
More information about module choices and pathways can be found at City St George's website.
