About the course
The aim of the MSc in Cancer Immunotherapy is through an understanding of the numerous ways in which cancers and the immune system interact, to learn how cancer immunotherapies are developed. The utilisation of the immune system in cancer therapy has been a long standing goal in the field. The course will provide a thorough understanding of immune effector mechanisms and of cancer biology and the personal skills the students will develop, through problem-based learning and self-directed learning.

•Professional Accreditations
Subject to validation, this course will be accredited by the Royal Society for Biology Accreditation.
What job can I get?
In cancer immunology a long-term goal has been the activation of immune effector mechanisms for therapy. You will acquire skills needed for careers in the exponentially growing cancer immunotherapy industries (Roche, Merck, Astra Zeneca and Small Medium Sized Enterprises). Graduates of the MSc Cancer Immunotherapy may go on to work in a broad range of fields including: medical or pharmaceutical research and development, clinical trials, public health and epidemiology, academia research, medical writing/science journalism, education, or patent law. Alternatively, you may also use the MSc Cancer Immunotherapy degree to underpin an application to study for a research degree such as MRes, MSc by Research, or a PhD in a related field.
The normal entry requirements for the programme are: 65% or above average grade in an undergraduate degree in the Biological Sciences or A professional qualification accepted as equivalent to the above; or A qualification in veterinary science, medicine or dentistry; or A first or second class Honours Degree in disciplines other than those described above but where the applicant, in the opinion of the Programme Leader, would benefit from, and succeed on, the programme.
