Cancer Science (Biological) University of Oxford

Overview

At the Cancer Science (Biological) programme offered by University of Oxford you will carry out research for four years on a full-time basis. All students are admitted directly to work under the supervision of a Principal Investigator who is formally appointed as the doctoral supervisor.

You will undertake your preferred research projects from the list advertised in the "Non-Clinical" project booklet. Your first year will consist of two six-month periods in two of the selected research groups. This rotational aspect of the programme provides you with a broad base of experience and the opportunity to explore different aspects of research prior to selecting a single project to focus on in years two to four.

Features

You will be encouraged to attend lectures and seminars related to your programme of research and make the most of the doctoral training and research methods provision available across the University. The aim is to tailor this training to individual needs and bring all students up to an advanced level in background knowledge. Later training is focused on the skills required for a successful career in independent research and for clinicians, to successful re-integration into clinical training.
