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 be fully integrated into one of the Institute’s six research centres, gaining valuable scientific and transferable skills. You’ll also gain 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.
