Overview

Taught by internationally recognised scientists and clinicians in cancer research, you examine everything from the cellular and molecular biology of cancer to the techniques used in cancer research before focusing on cancer treatment and novel cancer drug development.

Students will deepen their knowledge in all areas of cancer research and choose a project in an area they are particularly interested in. Students will join a research group working in that area and conduct an in-depth six-month independent research project making use of some of the latest technology in oncology and strengthening their ability to successfully evaluate and interpret cancer research data.

For over 20 years the Oncology MSc and PGCert courses have been providing up-to-date knowledge and training to scientists and clinicians, giving them a unique approach to the study of cancer.

At Nottingham, students receive a thorough grounding in oncology that will help you succeed in your career tackling one of the world's biggest killers.
