The Leicester Cancer Research Centre boasts state-of-the-art research facilities and maintains strong collaborations with the NHS. Doctoral candidates undertake an original research project with support from their academic supervisors. Typically, full-time students complete their research within 3.0-3.5 years, while part-time students have 6.0-6.5 years. An additional year (or remaining portion) is available for full-time students to finalize their thesis, or two extra years for part-time students. The dissertation has a maximum limit of 50,000 words and must present novel findings worthy of publication. Candidates must successfully defend their work in an oral examination (viva voce) to earn their degree.
