Overview
Students undertake a specific research project of three to four years' duration and submit a thesis which is examined for the PhD. In principle, the research project can be in any area of interest to principal investigators based in the IMS-MRL.
Postgraduate students at the IMS-MRL are expected to attend regular weekly Hot Topics and Technical sessions, seminars by local, national and international speakers and are encouraged to attend appropriate training courses provided by the University Postgraduate School of Life Sciences to widen their experience further.
Learning Outcomes
- By the end of the Clinical Biochemistry programme from The University of Cambridge, candidates will have acquired excellent skills, experience and knowledge to undertake postdoctoral work (research and teaching) or another related profession.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Thesis / Dissertation
- Every student is 'probationary' in their first year and expected to submit a first-year report within nine months of commencing study.
- The student is examined orally on the content of this report and on their understanding of the wider research field and future research plans.
- Subject to a satisfactory outcome, the student is then fully registered for PhD study.
- During the summer of their 1st year, students are required to present a poster on their work at the Annual Student Symposium.
- During the summer of their 2nd year, students give a short oral presentation at the same symposium.
