MSc by Research Oncology

at Middlesex University

Cancer is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide.There are around 363,000 new cancer cases in the UK every year, which is more than 990 every day (Cancer Research UK, 2019). Understanding the mechanisms of tumour formation and developing new therapies are therefore high priority areas, not only due to the human cost of this disease, but also due to the high economic burden on the NHS. This MSc by Research programme will allow you to develop the skills and knowledge you need to prepare for a career in cancer research, and is one of only a few MSc by Research Oncology courses available in the UK.
