Postgraduate Study

The MRC Epidemiology Unit is a research department in the School of Clinical Medicine at the °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï and investigates the causes and prevention of obesity and diabetes. 

Our PhD students have the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research under the supervision of senior scientists supported by postdoctoral researchers and a large team of fieldworkers, data managers, statisticians, study coordinators, technical and administrative staff.

PhD students are members of the wider Clinical School MRC Doctoral Training Programme (DTP), which offers a broad range of training opportunities and support. Students are also members of one of the University’s Colleges, which offers pastoral support and a vibrant learning community. 


Continuing

Applicants continuing to the PhD from an appropriate °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï MPhil course should pass that course.

 


Open Days

The Postgraduate Virtual Open Day usually takes place at the end of October. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions to admissions staff and academics, explore the Colleges virtually, and to find out more about courses, the application process and funding opportunities. Visit the Postgraduate Open Day page for more details.

See further the Postgraduate Admissions Events pages for other events relating to Postgraduate study, including study fairs, visits and international events.
