One to one supervision	All students are assigned a Principal Supervisor and an Adviser, and day-to-day supervision will take place in the laboratory alongside regular progress meetings. The University of Cambridge publishes an annual Code of Practice which sets out the University’s expectations regarding supervision.

Lectures	Students will attend University lectures relevant to their area of research.
Journal clubs	Students will be expected to attend journal club meetings organised by the Centre for Trophoblast Research (CTR).
Literature_reviews	Students may be asked to review literature and present to their research group/CTR Journal Club.

The student will be expected to deliver a ten minute presentation of their research to the departmental or research group prior to submitting a dissertation.
