a period of a sustained in-depth study of a specific topic;
an environment that encourages originality and creativity in research;
skills to enable a student to critically examine the background literature relevant to their specific research area;
the opportunity to develop skills in making and testing hypotheses, in developing new theories, and in planning and conducting experiments;
the opportunity to expand a student’s knowledge of a research area, including its theoretical foundations and the specific techniques used to study it;
the opportunity to gain knowledge of the broader field of paediatric research; and
an environment in which to develop skills in written work, oral presentation and publishing research results in high-profile scientific journals, through constructive feedback.

Postgraduate training is very different from undergraduate study. It is based on individual needs and abilities, is designed to help you to think clearly, originally and practically, and to prepare you for leadership in science.
Most research groups have weekly or fortnightly meetings in which all members discuss each other's work. You will be required to attend seminars and you will have the opportunity to go to scientific meetings. These bring you into direct contact with prominent and active scientists in your field from around the world. You will also give scientific talks yourself. You will be expected to attend courses, either directly related to your research or which teach you related skills such as how to write a scientific paper, use databases, interact with the media and so on. Many of these courses are run by the Postgraduate School of Life Sciences, but Paediatrics has its own series of seminars.
Cambridge is an amazing place in which to learn how to do cutting-edge research and benefit from interaction with visiting speakers and collaborators from all over the world. Read less
