癌症医学理学硕士（研究）课程将为学生提供关于精准医疗如何改善和塑造未来医疗保健的新知识。学生将获得分子技术和现代分子实验室中使用的设备/装置的实践经验；该课程将在支持性学习环境中提供适用于多个科学学科的实验室和研究技能培训。这个研究密集型课程的核心是一个为期 24 周的研究项目（贯穿两个学期），学生将在活跃的研究团队中进行实践研究培训。通过教学模块，学生将能够评估如何使用新治疗方法将患者分层为治疗组，以便更好地进行临床管理（分层/精准医疗）。他们将通过参观北爱尔兰癌症中心来观察精准医疗的实施情况。
第二学期有可选模块，让学生探索致癌的基本原理和转化方法（包括尖端技术），使癌症科学家和临床医生能够增进我们对癌症的理解和治疗。
精准癌症医学流全面概述了目前对癌症特征的理解，从遗传/表观遗传改变、细胞周期控制和转移/血管生成的作用，到帮助早期诊断癌症、改善治疗、合理设计临床试验和降低化疗耐药性的应用程序开发。
放射肿瘤学课程将培养学生理解放射治疗的生物学原理及其在癌症治疗中的临床应用的技能。这将包括辐射相互作用的物理和化学基础以及辐射暴露的生物学后果。将涵盖放射肿瘤学的临床方面，包括先进放射治疗的原理、癌症成像技术和生物标志物发现。
肿瘤药物发现流将深入了解学术和生物技术药物开发。本课程将帮助您了解什么是有趣的抗癌药物靶点，以及我们作为研究人员如何验证该靶点的临床用途。此外，您还将了解目前用于识别命中化合物、从命中化合物到先导化合物的开发和临床前候选药物选择的不同药物开发平台。
重要的是，所有流程都展示了我们对驱动癌症生长和扩散的分子过程的更好理解如何通过研究密集型的理学硕士项目转化为改善癌症患者的治疗和生存。

Assessment
Introduction
Assessment is by a combination of oral presentations and written assignments. The research project is written up as a dissertation.
We offer prestigious, competitive scholarships of up to 50% off tuition fees to new international students. You must have an offer to study a full-time course with us in 2024 to apply for a scholarship.
This program will equip you with the skills to work in a translational medicine setting in an academic or hospital environment and the biotech/ pharmaceutical industries. You will gain an insight into the financial, management, and entrepreneurial aspects of translational research, so you may end up working in the industry or potentially initiating a spin-out company of your own. You will also be able, should you wish, to progress to a Ph.D. in a biomedical discipline.
Queen's postgraduates reap exceptional benefits. Unique initiatives, such as Degree Plus and Researcher Plus bolster our commitment to employability, while innovative leadership and executive programs alongside sterling integration with business experts help our students gain key leadership positions both nationally and internationally. In addition to the comprehensive training offered by this Master's program, the Graduate School at QUB offers a range of supplementary courses ranging from Project Management and Leadership qualifications to the development of personal proficiencies such as Academic Writing and Presentation skills.
Employment after the Course
As this is a research-intensive degree many of our students go on to pursue further Ph.D. studies in healthcare research within the Institute of Health Sciences here at Queen's and further afield at other academic institutions. Others go on to work in a wide variety of roles in both the private and public sectors here in Northern Ireland and internationally. The following are some of the jobs they have taken on:
- Scientist, Randox
- Research Assistant Curtin University, Perth, Australia
- Assistant Peer Review Officer- BBSRC
- Project Coordinator Almac Group
- Research Project Coordinator, Almac Diagnostics
- Graduate Software Engineer BT TSO
Graduate Plus/Future Ready Award for extra-curricular skills
除了学位课程，在女王大学，你还有机会获得更广泛的生活、学术和就业技能。例如，实习、志愿工作、俱乐部、社团、体育运动等等。因此，你不仅能获得世界一流大学认可的学位，还能获得国内和国际的实践经验以及更广泛的生活体验。我们称之为“毕业生加分奖/未来准备奖”。这就是在贝尔法斯特女王大学学习的特别之处。
