Program Overview

Join the fight against cancer in this exciting course focusing specifically on current and in-development immunotherapies for treating cancer and tumour immunology.

You'll learn everything from the basics of immunology and molecular biology of cancer before focusing on how to develop therapies like vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, CAR T cells and more. You'll also develop an understanding of the impact tumours have on the immune system and the immune system on tumours, as well as the business side of research.

Working with active cancer researchers and experts, you'll join the Centre for Cancer Sciences and undertake your own research project in the area of cancer immunology and biotechnology that interests you.

Based in the brand new Biodiscovery Institute you'll also be able to make use of the latest technology in cancer research and help us tackle one of the world's biggest killers.

Course Content
You'll study across a number of compulsory modules designed to teach you all you need to know about tumour immunology and all about how immunological mechanisms contribute to the development of anti-cancer therapies. By the time you graduate should have an in-depth understanding of tumour immunology and different immunotherapies.

You'll also have the skills to complete your own scientific research, evaluating and interpreting data plus the ability to generate your own business concepts and ideas.

Study takes place over three semesters, autumn, spring, and summer. Typically taught modules are delivered in the autumn and spring semesters with the research project starting part time during the spring before becoming full time during the summer semester.

MSc students will take all of the compulsory modules for a total of 180 credits.
