MEDICAL SCIENCES

Cancer, dementia, diabetes, pandemics and infectious diseases are just some of the health challenges facing our world. Our courses in medical sciences will give you the knowledge and skills you need to contribute to vital research projects.

You might go on to develop a new drug to treat cancer, or you could further our understanding of how dementia affects the brain. Whatever you do, you’ll make a difference.

A postgraduate degree opens a lot of doors and can lead to a wide range of new careers or allow you to level up your current job. But whatever path you decide to follow, you’ll have the skills and resilience you need to overcome the challenges you face in any workplace.
