Overview

The Tissue Regeneration and Cancer MSc Research Programme, hosted by the School of Cancer Sciences, will deliver high quality research, training and mentorship to excellent and ambitious students interested in cancer research, including- but not limited to- its intersection with stem cell biology, immunity, metabolism, development, regenerative biology, and behavioural science.

Key facts

Students will undergo 1-year of full-time research in a laboratory chosen from our supervisory pool of world-renowned principal investigators. A further year is allowed for thesis writing.

In addition to their research time, students will have the opportunity to participate in research seminars [Glasgow Cancer Seminar Series], tutorials, science retreats and interactive discussion groups. Bioinformatic, research integrity and data management training courses are also offered to PGR students. Our skills pathway sets out recommended courses at different stages of PGR research study.

Students will have a primary and secondary research supervisor and 2 reviewers, who will oversee annual research progress. Students will give an introductory talk after the initial review panel meeting and within 4 months of starting their research year. At the end of their research year, students will write a MScâ€¯by Research thesis report (max 50,000 words) to be assessed by an internal and external examiner. The examiner may require a viva voce. Students will have up to 12 months after their year of laboratory research to fulfil these requirements for degree award.
