This programme aims to provide students with a clear understanding of the molecular and cellular biology fundamental to cancer biology and cancer research.
Students will learn how research in this area has advanced the treatment and diagnoses of cancer, and gain knowledge of how new therapies are developed, evaluated and implemented.
This will be underpinned by a thorough knowledge of research methodologies and laboratory techniques.
This programme will:
Give you a thorough grounding in the principles underlying cancer treatment
Introduce you to the regulatory framework underlying clinical research
Show you the steps involved in developing and implementing new treatments and how to apply this knowledge in your professional role
Encourage you to contribute to the research activity and knowledge base in improving cancer care.

Course programme
Structure
PGDip Molecular Pathology and Genomics is currently available for one year full-time study, or two years part-time study, as well as full-time and part-time distance learning options.
Distance learningThis programme is also available as a distance learning option. You will be able to follow each lecture online via audio recordings and slide/whiteboard content. All written assignments are submitted through the University’s online learning platform (QMPlus) and poster and oral presentations assessed via Skype. 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.
Full-timeUndertaking a postgraduate qualification is a serious commitment and involves weekly contact hours in addition to numerous hours of independent learning and research. 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.
