Cancer
The University of Manchester is a world leading cancer research institution where scientists and clinicians work harmoniously to develop innovative approaches to improve cancer detection, treatment, and care.
We are a proud partner of the Manchester Cancer Research Centre, working in partnership with Cancer Research UK and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, to translate laboratory discoveries into more effective, kinder treatments.
Guided by world class research in prevention, early detection, personalised medicine, and advanced radiotherapy, we harness our expertise to deliver real world case studies to inform our progressive education.
We have a postgraduate taught course portfolio that encompasses a wide range of educational needs: on campus or on-line, part-time, or full-time. This brings together a rich community of students from different backgrounds such as biology and physics, clinicians, and healthcare practitioners, all with ambitions to improve outcomes for patients with cancer.
