Study Details:
Cancer is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. There are around 363,000 new cancer cases in the UK every year, which is more than 990 every day (Cancer Research UK, 2019). Understanding the mechanisms of tumour formation and developing new therapies are therefore high priority areas, not only due to the human cost of this disease, but also due to the high economic burden on the NHS. This MSc by Research programme will allow you to develop the skills and knowledge you need to prepare for a career in cancer research, and is one of only a few MSc by Research Oncology courses available in the UK.
We normally require an upper second class honours degree (2:1) or above in molecular biology, biomedical science, biology, or a related subject.
If you have relevant qualifications or work experience, academic credit may be awarded towards your application.
This programme is well suited to those who wish to pursue a research career in academia. However, the skills acquired can be applied to a broad range of different careers, including working in industry or in public service.
Assessment will be based on a final dissertation of approximately 20,000 words, and an oral defence of your work (Viva Voce). Two independent examiners will be appointed to read and evaluate the dissertation and will also attend and examine your oral defence.
