Course summary
Our flexible, blended MSc Molecular Pathology of Cancer course will enable you to take advantage of growing opportunities within this field, which is critically important for translational and personalised medicine in cancer The number of academic pathologists trained in molecular pathology has steadily declined over the past 20 years. As such, it has been identified as an area requiring support and development by the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the Royal College of Pathologists, creating careers opportunities for students and professionals alike. Our master's course is aimed at a diverse audience including medical students, biomedical scientists, medical practitioners and trainee pathologists seeking deeper insight into molecular pathology. Trainee pathologists can take our course as part of an existing training programme. This course is also open to science graduates and researchers interested in developing their careers in cancer prevention and early detection translational research. Students will become part of Manchester's world leading precision medicine research community, learning practical skills that will be directly applicable to this emerging field. In addition, you will benefit from our association with the network of MRC and Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council funded Molecular Pathology nodes, which have been partly established to train more scientists to work in this field. This will enable you to connect with colleagues and related opportunities across the UK.
