Introduction
Cancer survivorship is recognized as a distinct period within the cancer continuum that commences at diagnosis and continues until the end of life. The M.Sc. in Cancer Survivorship is the first of its kind in Ireland with no identical course offered internationally. It provides students with knowledge and skills to apply evidence-based practice to cancer survivorship care. Three postgraduate qualifications are available: a postgraduate certificate, a postgraduate diploma, or a master's in Cancer Survivorship.
The course content is underpinned by the integration of pioneering research in the field of cancer survivorship to ensure the focus of the material delivered is current evidenced-based research, which will, in turn, inform evidence-based best practices in cancer survivorship care.
The course is delivered by a multidisciplinary academic team who are driving developments in survivorship care and research nationally and internationally. The teaching staff includes academics, clinicians, service providers, and service users who are at the forefront of cancer care, research, and policy in Ireland.
Ideal Students
This postgraduate program is aimed at healthcare professionals from a wide range of backgrounds, including medicine, nursing, and allied healthcare disciplines, who are involved in the provision of care to cancer patients.
