1 Faculty of Medicine and Biological Sciences Department of Biochemistry MSc CANCER CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY (2008/9) COURSE AIMS AND STRUCTURE Background The MSc in Cancer Cell and Molecular Biology is based in the School of Biological Sciences in the Adrian Building on the main University campus. The MSc is run by the Department of Biochemistry which is located in the Henry Wellcome Building (HWB). The 1 st course commenced in September 2005 and builds on the existing strengths of both the School of Biological Sciences and the Department of Cancer Studies and Molecular Medicine in the field of cancer research. The Biochemistry Department currently runs a highly popular third year module (BS3003) in Cancer Cell Biology and a highly successful second year module (BS2057) in Molecular Cell Biology has recently been introduced. In addition, the School of Biological Sciences runs three highly successful MSc courses in Bioinformatics, Molecular Genetics and Immunology. The MSc in Cancer Cell and Molecular Biology forms part of the existing laboratory-based MSc courses in Molecular Genetics, Immunology and Molecular Pathology & Toxicology (run by the University of Leicester Medical School) to share a common core curriculum, followed by specialised modules and research projects appropriate to each course. The course commences in September and is of 12 months duration (full-time) or 24 months duration (part-time). Entry requirements Candidates with a first, upper second or lower second class honours degree (or equivalent) in a biological science or related discipline will be considered. Graduates/non-graduates with several years appropriate industrial/professional experience are also encouraged to apply. Overseas students will be required to perform to the requisite standard in the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or English Language Test Score (ELTS). Aims and Objectives The MSc in Cancer Cell and Molecular Biology aims to: Respond to the national and international need for trained cancer researchers. Familiarise students with the cellular and molecular biology of cancer cells. Teach the theoretical and practical analytical skills currently used in cancer 1
2 research. Provide a positive learning environment where students can actively participate in their academic development. Give students direct experience of research during a research placement project with either a collaborating industrial partner or equivalent research laboratory. Prepare graduates for employment as scientists in industry, academia or research institutes either by direct entry or following further study. Teach research skills to ensure that graduates are equipped to pursue a career in science. At the end of the course students should be able to: Show core knowledge of the molecular and genetic basis of cancer. Demonstrate an in depth knowledge of the molecular and cell biology of cancer cells. Use research skills including the ability to design experiments, use appropriate statistical methods, analyse and interpret data and critically review the scientific literature. Show good laboratory skills and an awareness of safe practices. Demonstrate effective use of transferable skills in oral presentations, report writing and the use of information technology. Demonstrate experience of research through a 9-month project placement with a collaborating industrial partner or equivalent research laboratory. Course Structure Pathways The overall structure of the MSc is as follows: Taught modules (3 months duration) 60 credits Research project (9 months duration)..120 credits All students will take five core modules (Modules 1-5). Successful completion of the five core modules will fulfil the requirements for a Postgraduate Certificate. Students studying for a Postgraduate Diploma will undertake a short (3 month) diploma project after successful completion of the core modules. Students taking the 2
3 MSc will undertake a long (9 month) Masters-research project upon successful completion of the core modules. Module Module Title Core / Optional BS7001 Introduction to molecular techniques BS7002 Research methods in cell biology Credit Rating Core 10 Core 15 BS7003 Research methods in cancer biology Core 15 BS7004 Advanced topics in cancer Core 10 biology comprising a programme of lectures # and tutorials BS7005 Data analysis comprising Core 10 three examinations BS7006 Masters research project Core* 120 BS7007 Diploma research project Core** 60 * Compulsory for MSc students only ** Compulsory for Postgraduate Diploma students only Students have the option of a 60-credit research laboratory placement or a 60-credit advanced library project. # In addition to the core lectures in the MSc course students should attend relevant seminars by external speakers organised by the various Departments within the School of Biological Sciences, the Medical School, and the MRC Toxicology Unit. The University of Leicester Cell Signalling Group also runs a regular and highly popular seminar series. Part-time students Full-time students will take the whole course in one year. Part-time students will have 2 years to complete the course. Completion dates for individual components for the part-time students will be decided on a case-by-case basis but a suggested approach will be to complete the taught modules in the first year and the research project component in the second year. Course Assessment Continuous assessment in the form of essays, tutorial work and short practical reports will be a major element of the course. A set of formal examinations takes place on the completion of the core modules. The examination consists of three papers that test your understanding of the key concepts underlying cancer cell 3
4 biology and your ability to analyse and interpret experimental data. A satisfactory attainment level is a pre-requisite to proceed to the research laboratory placement.
