MSc Cancer and Molecular Diagnostics

About this course

The MSc Cancer and Molecular Diagnostics is a Teesside University, UK degree delivered at BMS Campus over one academic year, with classes on Saturdays and Sundays. Intakes are in January and May. Seven modules cover Advanced Biological Aspects of Disease, Genomics and Bioinformatics, Analytical Techniques, Pathobiology of Cancer, Cancer Diagnostics and Therapeutics, Clinical Biochemistry and Diagnostic Techniques, and a Life Science Research Project. The content moves from disease mechanisms and genomic technologies such as sequencing and genome editing to analytical instrumentation and clinical diagnostics, before the independent project. BMS describes graduates as ready for work in cancer and molecular diagnostics in industrial, commercial, government and environmental settings, and says BMS wants to keep working with industry and national universities on research. Applications with non-standard qualifications are considered on merit.
