Primary tabs
The MRC Epidemiology Unit is a research department in the School of Clinical Medicine at the University of Cambridge and investigates the causes and prevention of obesity and diabetes.
Our PhD students have the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research under the supervision of senior scientists supported by postdoctoral researchers and a large team of fieldworkers, data managers, statisticians, study coordinators, technical and administrative staff.
PhD students are members of the wider Clinical School MRC Doctoral Training Programme (DTP), which offers a broad range of training opportunities and support. Students are also members of one of the University’s Colleges, which offers pastoral support and a vibrant learning community.
Continuing
Applicants continuing to the PhD from an appropriate University of Cambridge MPhil course should pass that course.
Open Days
The Postgraduate Virtual Open Day usually takes place at the end of October. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions to admissions staff and academics, explore the Colleges virtually, and to find out more about courses, the application process and funding opportunities. Visit the Postgraduate Open Day page for more details.
