MSc Cancer and Therapeutics

The Cancer and Therapeutics MSc course at Queen Mary University of London aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic understanding about cancer and its treatment, with a focus on molecular mechanisms underpinning the development and progression of cancer. This course provides necessary training to students planning a career in cancer therapeutics, whether in industry, academia or healthcare.Course Content: The course kicks off with a focus on the biological basis of cancer, exploring how changes in cell function can lead to cancer. Students then develop their understanding of the molecular mechanisms associated with cancer before studying the current and emerging therapeutic options. The course revolves around three themes which include Molecular Basis of Cancer, Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment, and Cancer Therapeutics and Clinical Trials. Key Modules: This course comprises of several key modules which include Basic Biology and Cancer Genetics, Molecular Diagnostics and Treatment of Cancer, Cancer Therapeutics, and Advances in Cancer Therapeutics.Future Careers: Graduates from this course can pursue a breadth of careers including employed as translational researchers in the drug discovery industry, as clinicians in the NHS, or as academics following PhD study. In addition, some students also use this MSc as a foundation for further PhD study.For more information on this course, please visit the [official course page]( https://www.qmul.ac.uk/postgraduate/taught/coursefinder/courses/cancer-and-therapeutics-msc/).
