Program Information

School:University of Cambridge Postgraduate Study
Degree:Doctorate
Field of Study:Genetics, General
Description:Three years of supervised laboratory-based research (five years part-time) examined by thesis and an oral examination. Applicants are typically science postgraduates or clinically qualified doctors undertaking scientific training. Research is predominantly in the areas of cancer genetics and the genetics of rare disease and developmental disorders. The aim is to understand the cell biology of disease mechanisms using a wide range of disciplines including biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, bioinformatics and biostatistics. Specific research training relevant to your own project is provided in the laboratory in which you work. Further training is provided within the Addenbrooke's campus and elsewhere in the University, and includes postgraduate workshops on research techniques, research seminars, and postgraduate student education seminars on generic subjects such as intellectual property rights, statistics, bioinformatics, communication skills, writing a thesis or paper and entrepreneurship. Candidates wishing to take a shorter course of research may apply for the MPhil in Medical Science (Medical Genetics), which is also examined by thesis and an oral examination.
