Course summary

Our Cancer and Genomics PhD programme is available on a full-time or part-time basis, over 3 or 6 years.

Cancer will affect half the population in the UK in the coming years, with many of those still dying of the disease because of late presentation and lack of therapeutic options. Hence, Medical School researchers are actively studying this disease to better understand mechanisms, develop better diagnostic markers and develop novel therapeutic avenues to improve patient outcomes.

Your programme will feature:

Practice-focused learning
Supervision team with nominated supervisors
You will draw on skills from the broader academic community
Programme seminars and workshops
Access to Wales’ premier purpose-build medical research facility
Collaboration with industry and business partners

During your course, you will benefit from our highly regarded specialist facilities. Our vision is to advance medical science through interdisciplinary research and innovation. We are a leading centre for medical research and a unique example of successful collaboration between NHS, academia and industry in the life science and health sector.
