Course Summary

The decision to undertake a PhD at Cambridge is a life-changing one. It demonstrates a motivation to tackle the most difficult scientific problems. Pursuing a Cambridge PhD at the CRUK Cambridge Institute implies an additional commitment to addressing fundamental problems in cancer biology that will ultimately impact on the lives of patients. While we expect a very strong commitment from you, you should also expect from us a commitment to foster your development as an independent scientist. We endeavour not just to train students to be good scientists, but to equip them with additional skills that will enhance a career in academia or provide opportunities to apply their training in other areas. Postgraduate students have the opportunity to attend numerous courses run by the Institute, the University and the School of Clinical Medicine.

Modules

The student is expected to submit a thesis, of no more than 60,000 words, within four years of commencing study. Post-submission, the student will be examined orally by two examiners on the content of the thesis and on the wider research area.
