MSc in Experimental and Translational Therapeutics

The Department of Oncology and the Department for Continuing Education offer a part-time MSc in Experimental and Translational Therapeutics that brings together some of Oxford's leading clinicians and scientists to deliver an advanced modular programme designed for those in full-time employment, both in the UK and overseas.

The aim of the MSc programme is to provide students with the necessary training and practical experience to enable them to understand the principles that underpin clinical research, and to enable them to translate that understanding into good clinical and research practice.

The modules from the MSc in Experimental and Translational Therapeutics can also be taken by themselves as short courses. The modules available include:

• The Structure of Clinical Trials and Experimental Therapeutics
• Drug Development, Pharmacokinetics and Imaging
• Pharmacodynamics, Biomarkers and Personalised Therapy
• Adverse Drug Reactions, Drug Interactions, and Pharmacovigilance
• How to do Research on Therapeutic Interventions: Protocol Preparation
• Biological Therapeutics

The class-based modules will include a period of preparatory study, a week of intensive face-to-face lectures and tutorials, followed by a period for assignment work. Attendance at modules will be a requirement for study. Some non-classroom activities will be provided at laboratory facilities elsewhere in the University. The course will include taught material on research skills. A virtual learning environment (VLE) will provide between-module support.

The taught modules will include group work, discussions, guest lectures, and interaction and feedback with tutors and lecturers. Practical work will develop the students' knowledge and understanding of the subject.
