MSc Haematology

at University of Chester

Our course offers insight into the working of blood science laboratories for the clinical management of patient care. Additionally, through the course we will focus on the cellular biology both in the normal development of hematopoietic stem cells and how this becomes abnormal in haematological malignancies. In your studies, you will learn in detail about the diagnosis and treatment of both malignant and non-malignant haematological conditions. You will also review current guidelines and their evidence base in the therapeutic management of haematological problems and explore potential new therapies.
