课程概览
The title of this course has changed for 2024 entry. In previous years, it was titled Translational Oncology. In this course you will explore how research in the lab leads to real world advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment. You’ll study the fundamental biology of cancer, including how normal cells become cancerous, how tumours grow and spread, and how the tumour microenvironment and immune system can be targeted with modern therapies like immunotherapy and precision medicine. You’ll gain a deep understanding of both the science and the clinical side of oncology, learning from researchers, clinicians, and even cancer survivors. You’ll examine the full journey from identifying a drug target to clinical trials and personalised treatment, and choose optional modules in either bioinformatics or in vivo experimentation to shape the course around your interests. A major highlight of the degree is the six month, full time research project, where you’ll work within one of our internationally recognised research teams to apply your knowledge, develop practical skills, and prepare for careers in research, biotech, or further study. You’ll also explore the wider context of cancer through epidemiology, public health, and global disease patterns. Taught within the School of Medicine and Population Health, you’ll benefit from expert teaching, a supportive academic environment, and access to seminars from global leaders in cancer research. This course will equip you with the insight, experience and confidence to contribute to the future of cancer science and make a real impact in the field.

就业/职业信息
This course is great preparation for a PhD and a career in cancer research within the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. Graduates from this course now work as researchers and in other lab-based roles at top universities and research institutes. Some students from this course have joined the NHS Scientific Training Programme, or gone on to study medicine. Others have entered the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. For medical students who are interested in sub-specialising in oncology, the course provides a clinical introduction and foundation as well as networking opportunities with clinical academic staff. Careers workshops and 1:1 sessions are available to all students.
