You can take this as a stand-alone qualification or as an entry route onto a PhD or MD.

We ranked in the top 100 for Medicine and Life Sciences. We also ranked in Medicine - QS World University Rankings by Subject 2020.

You'll develop your own bespoke course with our broad range of taught modules. You'll then engage in a 24-week research project in cancer research.

Research strongly influences our teaching. Course content changes to reflect developments in:

• the discipline
• the requirements of external bodies and partners
• student feedback

You'll work in a competitive research area. This will be largely in academia, but also in industry.
