This MSc in Translational Cancer Medicine addresses an unmet educational need in translational medicine in oncology. This unique programme equips students with the knowledge and skills required to bridge current gaps between basic discoveries in cancer therapy development and clinical applications in oncology. The programme is focussed on cancer therapy development and translation, providing students with multi-disciplinary research skills, and equipping them with excellent research communication and dissemination skills.
Beyond gaining a foundation in the understanding of cancer as a disease, there is a specific focus on the whole spectrum of cancer therapies and their development as well as on clinical trials in oncology, hence the whole translational medicine process in the cancer arena. This is complemented with specific learning in relation to relevant research models and methodologies, data acquisition and handling as well as analysis, not least put into practice via a dedicated practical research project lasting 6 months.
