Cancer Biology and Immunology (Taught)

Advance your expertise in cancer research through a dynamic, research-intensive master’s programme designed for graduates in biomedical sciences and professionals from clinical, pharmaceutical or healthcare backgrounds.

Delivered by the School of Cancer Sciences, this MSc offers direct engagement with leading scientists and clinicians working at the forefront of cancer biology and immunology. You’ll benefit from Southampton’s world-class research environment, including access to the Centre for Cancer Immunology, the UK’s first dedicated facility for cancer immunology research.

Through a combination of taught modules and hands-on research, you’ll develop an in-depth understanding of the biological and immunological mechanisms of cancer. You'll explore basic concepts and how these are translated into treatment in the clinic, preparing you for a career in academic research, biotechnology or translational medicine.
