University of Essex, Master's in Cancer Biology
Reviewed on Nov 11, 2025(Enrolled 2023)

Course Curriculum

10

  • We usually have classes almost 3 to 4 days a week but split across different schedules, like laboratory and research classes.

Admission Experience

  • The main reason to choose was my specialisation; I'm a cancer biologist and wanted to specialise in cancer research and this University offered a great course pack that was really insightful.
  • We do require a neat research proposal and an IELTS score above 6.5

Faculty

10

  • 1 to 2 faculty to 25 to 30 students; sometimes we do have additional faculty support based on the sessions

Campus Life

10

  • The campus has an amazing library with access to 1000's of journals and books.

Part Time Jobs

  • We had student-friendly jobs across the campus but they weren't very accessible to everyone, as the spaces were limited. Out of university we do get relevant opportunities to work part-time in companies as business associates.

Placement

6

  • I secured an opportunity in the same domain even before I got my results; it's all about the right search and establishing your education and presenting it in an appropriate manner to secure a job.
