Description Contents Requirements Funding

The course's main aims are to give students relevant experience, the opportunity to carry out focused research in their discipline under close supervision, and the opportunity to acquire or develop skills and expertise relevant to their research interests. The MPhil is a research degree, and the qualification may count towards the entrance requirements for PhD study. (Please note, however, that the MPhil in Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology does not 'convert' to a PhD. The course leads to a Master's degree only, and students wishing to pursue a PhD must re-apply for admission as a PhD student.)

Students progress their research projects under academic supervision for one year, and at the conclusion of their studies, they are examined by thesis and oral examination.

Continuing

This degree results in an MPhil only. Students who wish to pursue a PhD will need to submit a new application for PhD study.

The MPhil in Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology is a research-based degree. Students will carry out research under the supervision of the principal investigator.


One to one supervision	The University of Cambridge publishes an annual Code Practice that sets out the University’s expectations regarding supervision. In most cases, students could expect at least four supervisions per full term across the duration of their course. Supervision reports are written once per term.
Seminars & classes	All of our MPhil CEB students are required to attend at least 50% of Department seminars during Michaelmas and Lent terms; lists of the seminars are provided at the start of each term. All MPhil CEB students are expected to attend the Graduate Conference in April and the weekly 1st Year Seminars throughout April, May and June.
Lectures	Our MPhil CEB program is purely researched-based with no taught components/lectures. Some academics will ask their students to attend some lectures that are relevant to the research, but in such cases, the student does not undertake any of the assigned coursework or exams.
Literature_reviews	All MPhil CEB students will provide a 3-month report, which will contain a literature review.
Posters	Students will present their research orally after 9 months during the 1st Year PhD students' series of presentations.

Feedback

In most cases, students could expect at least four supervisions per full term across the duration of their course. Each student’s supervisor will provide a supervision report each term.

Assessment

Thesis

Students will submit a 15,000 word thesis and are examined orally by two examiners--one internal and one external to the University.

Essays

All MPhil CEB students complete a literature review and compile their findings in a short report that is submitted 3 months after the start of their course.

Approximately 9 months into the course, all MPhil CEB students present their work to the Department during our 1st Year Presentations. These are usually held April-May, and attendance at all sessions is compulsory.
