Note: Offers made of places on this course are conditional on clearing any security checks the University deems necessary. Security checks are routinely required for all individuals involved in research activities that include working with sensitive information; working with children and vulnerable adults; working with live animals or with tissues supplied from live animals or working in an environment in which such work is pursued by others; working with dangerous pathogens or in a category 3 containment laboratory; or working with some other sensitive technologies. Where necessary the University will ensure that applicants are not disproportionately impacted by the requirement for any security checks by allowing new students to take up places and start appropriate areas of their work prior to a check in other areas being completed.
Selection Process
Applications are considered as they are received throughout the year. Applicants should expect to hear whether they have been successful within six weeks following the submission of their completed application and required supporting documents.

How to Find a Supervisor
Before submitting a formal application to the University, applicants are encouraged to submit a general enquiry directly to the department by emailing camradiology@medschl.cam.ac.uk. If a preferred supervisor is named, he or she will be able to respond directly and, if the research proposal looks promising, arrange an interview and visit to the department. If the student has not identified a specific supervisor, the general inquiry will enable the academics in the department to assess the proposal to see if it has the potential to be taken further. More information is available here.
