Cancer is a subject that embraces an ever-widening range of disciplines. The MSc 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 course aims to:

• Provide formal training for basic scientists and clinicians in the theoretical and practical aspects of the causes and treatment of cancer.
• Through the project and dissertation, familiarise you with the research environment, and enable you to develop the skills necessary to undertake independent research.

The MSc Oncology draws on a unique blend of scientific and clinical expertise and experience, and benefits from strong ties that exist between the clinic and laboratory within the Department of Oncology.

• The MSc Oncology has been running since 1997, and continues to provide up-to-date knowledge and training to its students
• The course partly fulfils the syllabus requirements for clinicians studying to sit Part 1  FRCR exams. The syllabus also meets the curriculum requirements for Higher Specialist Training in Medical Oncology set out by the Joint Committee on Higher Medical Training. CME Credits are also available
• The latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) confirmed The University of Nottingham's position as a world class research-led institution. Over 60 per cent 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
• The research carried out within Oncology is recognised at an international level
