Overview

A typical day/week in each year of the course in the first two to three years will mostly focus on direct research and lab work, but will also require reading of the literature, attendance at departmental seminars, lab meetings and skills training.

Once sufficient progress has been made, laboratory research will taper off and efforts will focus on data analysis and thesis preparation.
