Course Summary

Leicester Cancer Research Centre is part of the College of Life Sciences and is located at the Robert Kilpatrick Clinical Sciences and Osborne Buildings at the Leicester Royal Infirmary, and in the Henry Welcome Building on the main University campus. PhD students complete an independent research project under the guidance of a supervisory team. The research is normally completed over a maximum period of 3.0-3.5 years (full-time) or 6.0-6.5 years (part-time). A fourth year (full-time) or seventh year (part-time) or the remaining part of this can be used to prepare the thesis for examination. The thesis should not normally exceed 50,000 words and must make an original contribution to knowledge and contain work of publishable quality. The thesis must then be defended in a viva voce (oral) examination before a degree can be awarded.
