Summary
Mechanisms and Therapy in Cancer MSc is a pioneering Master’s programme which combines hands-on practical experience with innovative teaching by world-renowned academics. This programme will provide you with advanced knowledge of cancer biology and cancer treatment.
Students will gain a mechanistic understanding of the biology, detection and treatment of cancer, as well as a basic understanding of fundamental biological concepts that underpin this specialist area. You will also learn how to discuss and interpret scientific papers, develop critical thinking and acquire computational skills to analyse large datasets.
You will undertake a research project on a title of your choice within the field. Projects will be supervised by world-leading researchers based in Brunel University’s Centre for Genome Engineering and Maintenance (cenGEM). You’ll generate, analyse and interpret your own research data, and will actively participate as part of a research team, gaining valuable experience in a research-intensive environment, learning from senior scientists, attending lab meetings and weekly research seminars run by visiting speakers, who are the experts in their field.
In our 'Scientific Communication' module, you’ll learn how to disseminate medical information. Your writing skills will be developed to target a diverse range of audiences, from medical practitioners to the general public. You'll learn to write your research findings in both academic and journalistic styles - skills that will be invaluable in a range of biomedical careers.
