  • Teaching

    The scholarly interests of our graduate students are very diverse: as well as those reading for advanced degrees in both Sciences and Humanities, we admit clinical medical students, PGCE students and a few graduates reading for undergraduate honours degrees. 

    In addition to teaching and supervision provided by the University faculties, each graduate is appointed a College Advisor, who is a Fellow of the College. The College Advisor's role is generally to provide support and encouragement to graduate students and to assist with their integration into the life of the College. 

    You can view the Graduate Prospectus on the University webpages.
