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 MSci Cancer Biomedicine 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.


The course offers some flexibility. A selection of optional modules allows you to create a custom route within biomedical sciences based on your interests and future career options. A structured research project in the third year will help you develop a broad range of scientific and laboratory skills.


The integrated master's year is available to students who achieve a classification weighted mean of upper second class in the first three years of the programme. You will first build your research skills through a series of taught modules in the first term before embarking on an extended project in the second term, leading to a dissertation. Students who are unable to take up this option will instead complete the three-year BSc Cancer Biomedicine.


In the first year, the primary location for this degree is UCL's Royal Free Campus in Hampstead (located on the site of the Royal Free Hospital), with some teaching events held at UCL's main campus in Bloomsbury. In subsequent years, the primary location will be UCL's main campus in Bloomsbury, with some teaching events held at UCL's Royal Free Campus.


You will emerge from this course as a highly skilled scientist, ideally positioned to excel in laboratory or clinical research careers or other roles that require a high understanding of science and clinical medicine. Your research experience will be ideal for progression to a PhD or further study opportunities.
