This will enhance your career prospects in many areas of cancer research.
You’ll also take a three-month dissertation under the supervision of one of our research experts. This may involve setting up a ‘mock’ clinical trial to gain experience of clinical research and drug development in the cancer setting.
This programme is delivered by the Barts Cancer Institute, a Cancer Research UK centre of excellence and part of the Cancer Research UK City of London Centre.
If you study part-time, the modules you’ll need to complete will be spread over two years.
As a distance-learning student, you’ll be taught via our online platform, QMplus. You’ll have access to recorded lectures, video lab tutorials, copies of the slides and other supporting materials.
Dissertations will be supervised by a Barts Cancer Institute (BCI) researcher and supervision meetings will be conducted by telephone or by Skype.
