Key Course Facts

Course Description

The MSc in Haematology is designed to enable you to develop an up-to-date, advanced understanding of the disorders of blood and blood forming tissues. Using critical analytical skills, you will evaluate new developments in research into the blood sciences.

Why study this course with us?

You will receive training in the skills required in the reading and interpretation of the literature and translating that into evidence-based practice. We aim to develop your research and writing skills so that you will be in a position to contribute to the scientific literature in an effective manner.

The course culminates in the Research Dissertation, which will be assessed through your production of two articles in the style of published scientific work. Our aim will be to develop these to publication with you if suitable.

Aspects of the course are mapped to academic content of The Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board Speciality Training Curriculum for Haematology.

If biomedical or clinical research is your interest, on successful completion of the MSc you may wish to continue with your education by studying for a PhD. Alternatively you could study for medicine, physician associate studies or a PGCE.

You will be assessed via coursework assignments which may include clinical reviews, literature reviews, case studies, posters or oral presentations.
