Course programme
Structure
MSc Cancer Therapeutics is currently available for one year full-time study, or two years part-time study, as well as by full-time and part-time distance learning options.
Full-timeUndertaking a masters programme is a serious commitment, with weekly contact hours being in addition to numerous hours of independent learning and research needed to progress at the required level. When coursework or examination deadlines are approaching independent learning hours may need to increase significantly. Please contact the course convenor for precise information on the number of contact hours per week for this programme.
Part-timePart-time study options often mean that the number of modules taken is reduced per semester, with the full modules required to complete the programme spread over two academic years. Teaching is generally done during the day and part-time students should contact the course convenor to get an idea of when these teaching hours are likely to take place. Timetables are likely to be finalised in September but you may be able to gain an expectation of what will be required.
Distance learningThis programme is also available as a distance learning option, and is delivered via our web-based learning system known as QMplus. You will be able to follow each lecture online via audio recordings and slide/whiteboard content. All written assignments are submitted through the QMplus system and poster and oral presentations assessed through SKYPE/webcam system. You are encouraged to interact with teaching staff and other students in online discussion forums, join group activities and be part of the Institute's student community.
