This full time postgraduate degree will equip students with the knowledge, expertise and experience to make a real positive contribution towards the future research and treatment of cancer. Students will study the mechanistic nature of cancer biology and apply that knowledge to better understanding and developing the future diagnosis, prognosis therapy and prevention of cancer. Building on a solid foundation of learned basic cancer cell biology, students will consider and experience the design of treatment modalities and prevention strategies, including the mechanisms of action of anti-cancer drugs and radiation treatment, therapy resistance and biomarker discovery. The first part of the course comprises intensive lectures, tutorials and taught lab work, as well as advanced topic lectures delivered by scientists at the cutting-edge of translational research, focusing on therapeutics and prevention. A key component of the course is then the research project, which will give students the opportunity to study and research one of the department’s key research areas in much greater depth. As well as developing their understanding of the processes and techniques used in cancer research, students will learn how to critically analyse research data and research papers and how to communicate complex scientific concepts and processes.
