Course Summary

The CRUK CI MPhil is a 12-month course, during which time the student is expected to complete a research project, and write and submit a thesis of no more than 20,000 words. The student will then be examined orally on the thesis and on the wider field of related research. Each student is supported by a Principal Supervisor who is normally a Group Leader, or a senior CRUK CI academic leading on a specific project. In addition, each student will receive day-to-day supervision by a qualified postdoctoral researcher. All students are encouraged to attend lectures of interest both in the Institute and in the wider University. They are also expected to participate in journal clubs and lab meetings, and to take advantage of the numerous and varied opportunities including transferable skills training offered by both the Institute and the University.

Modules

The course is examined by thesis and oral examination (viva). The thesis must be no longer than 20,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, footnotes, bibliography, and appendices, and must satisfy the internal and external examiner that the candidate can design and carry out an original investigation, assess and interpret the results obtained, and place the work in the wider perspective of the subject.
