MSc Cancer Immunotherapy

The MSc Cancer Immunotherapy at the University of Hertfordshire is a one-year full-time master’s programme held at the Hatfield campus. The course is taught by internationally recognised researchers and studies how cancer and the immune system interact, and how immunotherapies are developed. Students will benefit from the research interests of the Bioscience Research Group, and will study core and specialised modules including Translational Medical Science, Molecular Medicine, Molecular Cell Biology and Immunology, and Contemporary Topics in Cancer Immunotherapy.

The teaching combines lectures, tutorials, practical laboratory classes, and the use of case studies. Students will use the University’s modern laboratory facilities, including cell-culture labs, DNA extraction, PCR, gel electrophoresis, and immunohistochemistry, and complete a research project under the supervision of expert cancer immunology scientists. This programme is also professionally recognised and holds accreditation from the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), and is 9th in the UK for health science according to the Daily Mail University Guide, 2025.
