Students are based in a research group and undertake a research project under the supervision of a principal investigator. A wide range of generic and specific skill courses are available. Students attend induction and safety training run by the Department.

There is no examined coursework but student progression is dependent upon the first-year assessment process where students are required to submit a first-year report and undertake a viva voce examination. Students are only registered for the PhD upon satisfactory performance in the first-year assessment.

In their second year, students present their work as a poster at the Departmental Annual Symposium. Third year students are expected to present their work as part of the Postgraduate Seminar Series and students approaching submission are asked if they would like to present in the Department-wide Valedictory Seminar Series.

Assessment for the PhD is by a written thesis and an oral examination.

The course will equip its postgraduates with a wide range of skills and knowledge. They will receive training in research and the ability to conduct independent research. They will have gained research experience through having planned, executed and evaluated an original investigative piece of work through a major thesis. They will develop the ability to critically appraise scientific literature and to present research data at conferences and seminars. They will cultivate their intellectual skills and develop transferable skills.

The PhD in Oncology is a research based course offered over 3 to 4 years full-time, or over 4 to 7 years part-time. It is designed to produce postgraduates with rigorous research and analytical skills, who are exceptionally well equipped to go on to doctoral study, postgraduate research, or employment in industry and the public sector.

Students undertake a bespoke research project, which is agreed with their Principal Supervisor during the application process.

PhD students are initially on probation, with progression to the PhD being dependent on passing a formal First Year Assessment (FYA); this involves submission of a written progress report which is then assessed by oral examination conducted by two assessors. Full-time PhD students are on probation during their first year and must pass their FYA before they enter their second year of study. Part-time students are on probation for their first two years and must pass their FYA before they enter their third year of study.

Both full-time and part-time students are also required to produce regular written progress reports throughout the course of their degree.

At the end of their course, students produce a thesis of 60,000 words maximum, followed by an oral examination based on both their thesis and a broader knowledge of their chosen area of research.

Most research training is provided within the structure of the student’s research group and informal opportunities to develop research skills are available through mentoring by other members of staff and fellow students. All students are encouraged to attend scientific meetings, seminars and postgraduate courses relevant to their area of interest. They are also expected to participate in journal clubs and lab meetings and to take advantage of the numerous and varied training opportunities offered by the University.

Each student is assigned a Principal Supervisor who oversees their research project and an Adviser who provides additional support. Our Postgraduate Administrator acts as the first point of contact for any student with a query or difficulty not directly related to their scientific work. All student matters in the department are overseen by our Director of Postgraduate Education and the Cancer Biology Postgraduate Education Committee.

The PhD course provides students with:

a period of sustained in-depth study of a specific topic.
an environment that encourages originality and creativity in their research.
skills to enable them to critically examine the background literature relevant to their specific research area.

Obesity and its metabolic consequences are major and growing threats to public health. Although obesity is not a “new” disease, its prevalence has been increasing dramatically in developed and developing countries. Current projections from the World Obesity Federation and International Diabetes Federation predict that by 2030, 1 billion people will be living with obesity and 642 million will be living with diabetes across the world.

The design of successful management strategies for obesity and related metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes depends on better understanding the fundamental mechanisms of appetite and energy balance, and how obesity leads to adverse downstream metabolic consequences. Indeed, we are currently witnessing a surge in the development of new and effective therapies based on dramatic advances in our mechanistic understanding of energy balance regulation.

The Institute of Metabolic Science is offering a full-time taught MPhil in Obesity, Endocrinology & Metabolism, with an overarching goal of providing students with in-depth cutting-edge knowledge of the physiology and pathophysiology of energy balance and metabolism, and both current and future therapeutic opportunities. Students will also undertake a 32-week research project in a world-leading laboratory. Research projects available to students will span the full range of expertise at the Institute of Metabolic Science including molecular and cell biology, mouse models, human physiology, genomics, computational biology, and state-of-the-art technologies.

The main educational aims of the course are to:

to give students with relevant experience at first-degree level the opportunity to carry out focused research in the discipline under close supervision; and
to give students the opportunity to acquire or develop skills and expertise relevant to their research interests.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this course students will be able to:

demonstrate advanced knowledge and understanding of the underlying causes and consequences of obesity and associated endocrine and metabolic disorders, through attendance at and engagement with the lecture series;
demonstrate in-depth knowledge of the background to their selected research project including the research methods and methods of data analysis used;
demonstrate a broad understanding of modern research techniques applicable to metabolic research from a series of technical lectures;
