FindAMasters summary

The MPhil in Medical Science (CRUKCI) is a highly competitive and prestigious programme offered by the University of Cambridge. This 12-month course is designed for students with a UK II.i Honours Degree or its international equivalent in a related subject. Under the guidance of experienced supervisors, students will undertake a research project and write a thesis of up to 20,000 words. The programme aims to develop students' research skills and specialist knowledge, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Students will have access to a wide range of lectures, journal clubs, and training courses, as well as opportunities to attend scientific meetings.

About the course

Applications are coordinated by CRUK CI. Prior to submitting the University of Cambridge online application form, you are strongly advised to identify a group leader in the Institute who is willing to supervise you for MPhil study. At present, the Institute accepts only one or two MPhil students each year and so competition for places is particularly fierce. 

The MPhil course lasts for 12 months, during which time the student is expected to complete a research project, and write and submit a thesis of not more than 20,000 words. The student will then be examined orally on the thesis and on the wider field of knowledge into which it falls.
