You will be a member of your supervisor’s research group where you will be able to develop your research skills with one to one supervision. Your supervision team consists of your principal supervisor, a secondary supervisor (often a senior member of the research staff), the Director of Graduate Studies and a College Advisor. You will meet regularly with your primary supervisor to plan your research and review your progress. As well as carrying out your research project, you will also have the opportunity to attend a variety of skills training sessions and career planning events offered by the Medical Sciences Division.
Formal assessment of your progress will be carried out by external assessors through the Transfer of Status (term four) which has to be passed before you defend your thesis.
Graduates from the Nuffield Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology go on to further research in reproductive, biological, and biomedical science, assisted reproduction, as well as clinical academic work and industry.
