Postgraduate Study

Teaching

One to one supervision

All PhD students are assigned a supervisor and an advisor. The supervisor and student are expected to meet approximately eight times per year. The adviser will be involved with the registration assessment at the end of the first year and formal advisory meetings annually thereafter.

The University of Cambridge publishes an annual Code of Practice which sets out the University's expectations regarding supervision.

Feedback

In addition to supervision meetings, each student should also receive a supervision report at the end of each term.

Assessment

Thesis / Dissertation

Submission of an 80,000-word thesis and an examination, conducted orally, on the subject of the thesis.
