Course Summary

The use of the immune system in cancer therapy is a prevailing ambition in the field. You’ll gain expert knowledge of the numerous ways cancers and the immune system interact so you can learn how cancer immunotherapies are developed. We’ll provide a thorough understanding of immune effector mechanisms and cancer biology. You’ll develop a range of personal skills through self-directed learning and our problem-based approach to teaching.You could make a valuable contribution to the ambitious work of cancer immunologists and play a key role in the activation of immune effector mechanisms for cancer therapy. Your skills and knowledge will be sought after in a range of careers in the immunotherapy industries. For example, Roche, Merck, Astra Zeneca and small to medium-sized enterprises. You could work in medical or pharmaceutical research and development, clinical trials, public health and epidemiology, academia research, medical writing and science journalism, education, or patent law. Alternatively, you may use your MSc Cancer Immunotherapy with Advanced Research to underpin an application to study for a research degree such as MRes, MSc by Research, or a PhD in a related field.Sandwich placement or study abroad year

Modules

Contemporary Topics in Cancer Immunotherapy (30 Credits) - Core

The Cancer Immunotherapy module will commence with an overview of the current cancer therapies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. The module will provide a thorough understanding of the immune system's role in cancer development, growth and spread, including areas such as inflammation and immune-evasion/suppression and the interplay of the immune system (T cells, macrophages, myeloid suppressor cells) with cancer cells in the tumour microenvironment. This fundamental understanding will lead to an exploration of the development, including from an historical perspective, leading to the latest targeted Cancer Immunotherapies. The module will also cover practical methodologies to reverse the inflammatory nature of the tumour microenvironment and ways to enhance current tumour therapies (so-called immuno-chemotherapy).
