Description

Do you have a natural curiosity? Investigate molecular mechanisms and disease stratification of cancer.

This degree builds on your knowledge of human biology. You'll specialise in the metabolic and cellular changes associated with cancer at a molecular level. Investigate the mechanisms of intra and intercellular signalling. Explore tumour formation and disease progression and analyse contemporary treatment strategies.

If you want specialist knowledge in cancer pathology, this is the degree for you. You'll investigate the progression of cancer, building on your in-depth knowledge of human biology and immunology. In your second and third year, you'll specialise your studies. You'll focus on the metabolic and cellular changes associated with cancer development and progression. We want you to understand cancer at a molecular level and use this knowledge to explore contemporary treatment options. If you're inquisitive and curious, you'll thrive with us.

Our team of academic and technical staff will interact with you during and after your studies. They're passionate about helping you achieve your ambitions. While studying, you'll develop your scientific knowledge and employability. Our focus on transferable and multidisciplinary skills give you a range of employment options when you graduate. 

We give you the opportunity to take your learning to the next level with placements. Gain hands-on experience both at the University and in local industrial laboratories. We'll support you to organise short placements throughout your studies. Alternatively, you can choose to take part in a year-long external placement in industry.
