Cancer is a subject which embraces an ever-widening range of disciplines. The degree of Master of Science in Oncology is suitable both for scientists and other graduates who wish to learn more about the science as well as the practice of oncology, and for clinicians together with other health care professionals who require further training in the molecular aspects of oncology. The MSc in Oncology has been running for 10 years, and continues to provide up-to-date knowledge and training to its students. The degree is offered as a one year full-time and two year part-time course (day release format), which may be more suitable for clinicians. The course draws upon a unique blend of scientific and clinical expertise and experience, and benefits from strong ties between the clinic and laboratory within the Department of Clinical Oncology. The full-time course is particularly suitable for graduates wishing to pursue a career in cancer research or for candidates who may wish to enter the pharmaceutical industry. Two thirds of the course are taught with the remaining third being a research component. Laboratory research is compulsory for full time students. The latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) confirmed The University of Nottingham s position as a world class research-led institution. Over 60% of the University s RAE scores identified research as being of a level of international excellence. This achievement has helped put Nottingham in the world?s top 75 universities according to The Newsweek World University Rankings.
