MSc in Diagnostics and Precision Medicine at Dublin City University

Programme

The programme has been designed with flexibility in mind by enabling students to:

• Access course material at a time and a place that is convenient to them;
• Register Full-time or Part-time (Part-time students must complete all modules within a maximum period of four years);
• Tailor their education and training by offering exit routes at MSc (90 ECTS credits), Diploma (60 ECTS credits) and Certificate (30 ECTS credits).

 
The programme is delivered through blended learning which is comprised of:

• Online (recorded) lectures;
• Face-to- face tutorials at DCU (tutorials will also be recorded for those who would like to attend remotely);
• A 12-week research project (May – July).

In addition, several modules on the programme will be delivered by our partners at Arizona State University as part of the International School
of Biomedical Diagnostics.  Assessment is through continuous assessment and primarily consists of submission of online assignments throughout the year. Formal written examinations are not used for assessment of student learning.
