Programme Structure Summary
Year 1 of PhD in Molecular Cell Biology
| Students are required to complete all of the modules listed over (5 programme-specific modules total): |
|
|
In addition to the modules above, students must complete two post-graduate modules from a selection available.
|
|
*MC7001, MC7002 are ~5-month laboratory rotation projects.
**MC7004, MC7005 and MC7006 are programme-specific modules focusing on advanced topics relevant to cancer and infection/immunity. MC7004 and MC7005 will be based on existing post-graduate cancer biology modules – CB7004 and CB7005; thus those modules have dual codes.
In the final month of Year 1, students will prepare and orally defend a research proposal based on their intended thesis work, i.e. thesis proposal. While not a credited module, this component of Year 1 will carry an equivalent workload of 10 credits.
