About The Course

About the course

Cellular pathology saves many lives each year by helping to fight serious illness. It is the study of changes in cells, tissues, and organs that cause disease. This specialism is constantly evolving and plays a crucial role in the fight against serious illnesses, particularly cancer.

Our MSc emphasises practical skills and hands-on experience in diagnostic techniques. Our specialist laboratories are fully equipped with specialist technology, including a cell culture facility and proteomics facilities. You will learn to use cutting-edge techniques and equipment for cellular and molecular analysis, such as MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers, flow cytometers, DNA sequencing, real-time PCR, electrophoresis, and HPLC.

Our biomedical science courses have an excellent international reputation. All our teaching staff are involved in research and many are pioneers in their own field. Our Centre for Investigative and Diagnostic Oncology has made significant breakthroughs in cancer diagnosis and treatment, including our breakthrough in the development of a vaccine for bladder cancer.

We have strong links with London hospitals and NHS Laboratories which means that you will be studying the latest developments, practices, and research.
