The MSc in Cancer Biology has been designed for students who wish to gain an advanced education and training in the biological sciences, within the context of a disease that affects a large proportion of the global population. The course trains you in modern biological research skills which can be harnessed to further our understanding of cancer and improve treatment. In addition, you develop many transferable skills that are attractive to employers within the public and private sector.
Each one-hour lecture is supplemented by two hours of small-group seminars and workshops in which individual themes are explored in-depth. There are practical classes and mini-projects in which you design, produce and characterise a therapeutic protein with applications in therapy.
Contents
The course incorporates modules that focus on the biology and treatment of cancer, alongside advanced scientific skills training modules for application within and outside the laboratory.
The combination of these themes provide you with a rigorous training in advanced biological science, transferable to a range of biological and professional disciplines. The taught modules underpin an extended, four-month research project under the supervision of active cancer scientists.
