MPhil Research (Clinical)

Hey all!

I’ve been reading about clinical research master’s programmes at Cambridge and would love to hear from people who have experience in any of the clinical research MPhil/MRes pathways (e.g. Clinical Neurosciences, CRUK, CIMR, Medicine, etc.).

I’m especially curious about what the experience is like day-to-day…how structured vs independent the research is, how people found working in labs/clinical groups, and what the overall pace of the year feels like.

Also interested in how people generally found the transition into these kinds of research-heavy courses.

Any insights or personal experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks!🙏🏻
