Teaching Week
For the last few years we have taken time each year to celebrate our academic success through a week-long Teaching Week event.
A key part of Teaching Week is always to recognise one of our most important assets…our students.
Today’s postgraduate students will form part of the future global cancer research community and we are committed to attracting the brightest people from all over the world.
Our students enjoy working in a high-tech and collaborative environment, in which their research can be translated into direct benefits for patients.
Their dedication and talent make vital contributions in our mission to ‘make the discoveries that defeat cancer’. They also help create a vibrant, dynamic place for cancer research.
Studying opportunities at the ICR
In addition to offering PhD and MD(Res) opportunities, the ICR also runs a popular MSc in Oncology. This course is a day release modular programme designed for medically qualified candidates who intend to pursue a professional career in some aspect of clinical or medical oncology.
For our PhD studentships, we have one main round of recruitment each year (launching in mid October), although studentships do sometimes become available at other times of the year.
We are committed to providing world-class resources and support to all of our students and we offer exceptional academic and recreational facilities across our two London sites – in Chelsea and Sutton.
