About the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute
The Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute (CRUK CI) is situated adjacent to Addenbrooke's Hospital on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. It aims to link the laboratory to the clinic with a multi-disciplinary approach to cancer-focussed research. Cancer Research UK, Europe's largest cancer charity, funds much of the research in the Institute.
2 course(s) offered in the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute
Medical Science (CRUK CI) - MPhil
The MPhil in Medical Science at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute (CRUK CI) is a research course that offers each student full integration into one of our world-leading Research Groups, guided by a Group Leader and working closely with postgraduate and postdoctoral colleagues. Each student will pursue a well-defined, specific project and is supported to write a thesis within 12 months of commencing study. Their topic of research will be aligned with and contribute to the overall objectives of the lab.
It should be noted that funding is not normally offered for MPhil study by CRUK CI, and so students will need to have acquired their own external funding.
Postgraduate administration at the Institute is managed by a dedicated Academic Development team, in collaboration with the Head of Department, the Director of Postgraduate Education and the CRUK CI Executive Committee. Additional academic oversight is provided by the Cancer Biology Postgraduate Education Committee (CBPEC) which includes members from the CRUK Cambridge Centre and the University Department of Oncology, as well as CRUK CI.
We also offer a comprehensive Postgraduate Training Programme to all students at CRUK CI, encompassing course-related, skills-based, and career-oriented training delivered by experts in their field, including Group Leaders, Core Facilities managers, Senior Postdocs, industry professionals and University advisors. MPhil students are encouraged to participate in all aspects of postgraduate student life in the Institute, and are full members of the student society, GradSoc.
