Course summary
Study an exciting four-year integrated Master's (MSci) degree that sets you up to play your part in tackling cancer. Build the knowledge, skills and research experience that will be widely relevant for careers in medicine, biomedical research, health science, allied health professions and the pharmaceutical industry. You'll be taught by expert researchers at UCL working at the forefront of cancer research.
Up to 50% of people in the UK will develop cancer in their lifetime. By 2030, four million people will be living with a cancer diagnosis. Our ability to diagnose, understand and treat this disease - both now and in the future - will rely on highly-talented graduates who specialise in cancer.
Study our Cancer Biomedicine MSci degree to learn about molecular biology and cancer genetics, cancer biology and therapeutics, clinical cancer management and the wider impact of a cancer diagnosis on society. You will explore how we can personalise cancer treatment for our patients and how new cancer treatment strategies are designed and tested in clinical trials.
