The Master's in Genomics and Genetics aims to meet the demand for highly qualified professionals for the genomics and genetics sector, which is increasingly established in our society.

The Master in Genomics and Genetics aims to satisfy the demand for university training, within the SUG, in theoretical and experimental biology, veterinary medicine, food technology, pharmacy, forestry-agriculture and the environment, which represents an opportunity for / the students who require more training in frontiers of knowledge and technology in the life sciences in the Autonomous Community of Galicia.

Today, genomics is essential to understand human diseases, plant and animal development, the evolution of species and their relationships with the environment. The aim of this master's degree is to train new professionals and researchers in genomics and genetics, and prepare them in specific areas of science and technology to face current challenges in these disciplines. The master's degree is focused on basic and applied research, genetics, evolution, development and biomedicine, in the broadest sense, and provides the training required to access third-cycle studies. It prepares students for professional practice in the new technologies of genetic analysis and genomics in particular. As a result, graduates will have opportunities as highly qualified staff in companies and institutions in which these types of analysis are increasing relevant, including hospitals, diagnostic centres, and analysis and genotyping companies.
