Course programme
The Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences (NDCN) is one of the leading and largest clinical neuroscience departments in Europe and incorporates the Division of Clinical Neurology, the Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology, the Nuffield Division of Anaesthetics, the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging and the Centre for the Prevention of Stroke and Dementia (CPSD). Each division hosts world-leading programmes in basic, translational and clinical research.
The DPhil in Clinical Neurosciences will develop your skills through a range of research and practical training. You will work alongside your supervisors to develop your programme of study which is normally part of a larger research group with shared interests. Most graduate research in the department is interdisciplinary and in collaboration with research leaders at other research centres- such as the MRC Mammalian Genetics Unit at Harwell and the National Institutes of Health, USA- as well as many other University departments.
You will be encouraged to make the most of the doctoral training and research methods provision available across the Medical Sciences Division and to attend departmental and divisional seminars. As a DPhil student you will be given the opportunity to present your work at a variety of seminars and sessions in the department.
Part-time studyIt is possible to study for a doctorate on a part-time basis. Completing the DPhil on a part-time basis normally requires between six and eight years of study, compared with a full-time DPhil which normally takes three to four years to complete.
SupervisionThe allocation of graduate supervision for this course is the responsibility of the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences and it is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff. Under exceptional circumstances a supervisor may be found outside the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences.
In the case of students who require specific help to adjust to an academic programme or to a new range of skills, the supervisor will work with them to ensure that they have additional support.

Changes to this course and your supervision The University will seek to deliver this course in accordance with the description set out in this course page. However, there may be situations in which it is desirable or necessary for the University to make changes in course provision, either before or after registration. In certain circumstances, for example due to visa difficulties or because the health needs of students cannot be met, it may be necessary to make adjustments to course requirements for international study. Where possible your academic supervisor will not change for the duration of your course. However, it may be necessary to assign a new academic supervisor during the course of study or before registration for reasons which might include sabbatical leave, parental leave or change in employment. For further information, please see our page on changes to courses.
