MSc Cancer Cell and Molecular Biology

... United Kingdom
... University of Leicester

Course Overview

International students who study at the University of Leicester may be eligible for a Graduate Visa, which grants permission to stay in the UK for at least two years after completing their course.

The research training you receive and the research project you conduct will provide you with skills that Ph.D. supervisors and employers value highly when recruiting their postgraduate research students from around the world.

Our Career Development Service is here to support you with advice on interviews, CVs, work experience, volunteering, and more. From Freshers’ Week to Graduation and beyond, they are here to help you reach your professional goals. Discoveries in cell and molecular biology underpin most of what is known about cancer development. Analysis of alterations in diverse cell functions, including cell communication, cell division, cell metabolism, cell movement, genetic modifications, and gene expression, is central to our understanding of the disease and its treatment. This full-time postgraduate degree will provide you with cutting-edge knowledge and practical training in molecular and cell biology aspects that are required to understand the current approaches to cancer research.

General Eligibility

Part Time Work Details

20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.

Language Requirement

  • IELTS 6.5 or equivalent. If your first language is not English, you may need to prove your English ability. If you do not yet meet our requirements, our English Language Teaching Unit (ELTU) offers a range of courses to help you to improve your English to the necessary standard.
