About this course
BSc in Cancer Biomedicine, a medical sciences degree focused on the biological mechanisms, detection, and treatment of cancer. Core topics include Statistics and Research Methods. Students complete a substantial independent research project in their final year. The first year covers foundations through Cancer Medicine in Society, Foundations in Human Physiology and Cellular Biology, and Cardiovascular and Respiratory Function in Health and Disease. The second year examines specific mechanisms and approaches via Cancer Biology and Therapeutics, Clinical Cancer: from epidemiology to diagnosis to treatment, and Pathogens and Cancer, alongside optional choices such as Immunology and Pharmacology and Drug Action. The final year centres on advanced clinical applications and research through Cancer Biomedicine Research Project, Precision Cancer Medicine, and Cancer Clinical Trials - Undergraduate, with further options including Stem Cell Therapies and Nanotechnology in Medicine.
