This MSc gives you a detailed and thorough understanding of the molecular and cellular basis of cancer and its treatments. You’ll also develop a deep knowledge of cancer biology, pathology, pharmacology and drug development.
You’ll study research methods and techniques, enabling you to make the most of the three-month laboratory project that forms a central component of the programme.
During your laboratory project, you’ll have the opportunity to undertake research at your workplace or an appropriate local research laboratory. You’ll gain valuable scientific and transferable skills, as well as experience of the research process – including preparation of a thesis – so you’ll have a solid foundation for a future career in scientific research.
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. As a distance-learning student, you’ll be taught via our online platform, QMplus. You’ll have access to recorded lectures, copies of the slides and other supporting materials.
We encourage you to interact with staff and students in our online forums, join group activities and become part of our student community.
The lab-based elements of this programme are taught through video tutorials.
You’ll carry out your lab project at an approved external organisation, whether this your workplace or another site with which you have links. In some circumstances, distance learners may be able to carry out their lab project in one of our research centres, but priority for places is given to onsite students.
If you study part-time, the modules you’ll need to complete the programme will be spread over two years.
