About the session
Cancer is common and can affect us all. Half of us will hear the words “you have cancer” at some point in our lives….
At the internationally renowned UCL Cancer Institute, we strive to educate and train the next generation of cancer researchers. Our Cancer Biomedicine BSc is a dynamic and stimulating degree which will equip graduates with the skills to drive innovation and research across biomedical sciences in the future.
This taster talk will be followed by a Q&A session with our programme lead and a current student.
