Course
The course leading to the degree of M.Phil. is essentially research-based and does not involve assessed instructional courses. Candidates are based in a research group and undertake research on a topic agreed with the principal investigator. They also have an Ad visor and a Graduate Thesis Panel, as in the Ph.D. student program.Students write an M.Phil. thesis, is examined via an oral examination involving an Internal and External Examiner. The aim of the M.Phil. is to give candidates a solid grounding in modern biochemical and biomedical research techniques and practical experience of a full-time experimental research project. This aims to give experience working as part of a team in an academic environment and gaining skills in scientific communication through both oral presentations and writing.This course involves a series of lectures covering a variety of useful experimental techniques used in biochemistry and molecular biology. Their aim is to familiarize students with a wide range of techniques extending well beyond those that they will immediately encounter in their own research project. They must also attend a weekly seminar series throughout the year and present their work to the group at least once during this series. They encourage students to take part in a wide range of skills training opportunities available to both Masters and PhD research students.
