Medical Science (Medicine) MPhil (Res)

Studies are carried out by science graduates, medical students combining clinical training and clinically qualified doctors undertaking scientific training. The research covers the whole spectrum of medical science from basic biology to clinical therapies. Along with the specific research training provided in the laboratory in which you work, you receive further training within the department in the form of graduate workshops concentrating on research techniques, research seminars both on the Addenbrookes site and elsewhere in the University, and graduate student seminars dealing with generic skills such as intellectual property rights, writing a thesis or paper, and entrepreneurship.<br/><br/>The course introduces students to research skills and specialist knowledge. Its main aims are:<br/><br/><br/>- to give students with relevant experience at a first-degree level the opportunity to carry out focused research in the discipline under close supervision; and<br/>- to give students the opportunity to acquire or develop skills and expertise relevant to their research interests.<br/>
