We run a comprehensive postgraduate programme to ensure that our students are able to gain a wide range of experience. At the end of their studentship, Babraham students will have been trained in a variety of state-of-the-art techniques at the frontiers of modern molecular biology. They also receive training in a wide range of transferable skills, including intellectual property and the exploitation of knowledge for wealth creation and improvement to the quality of life. They will also know how to organise their laboratory and research programme.
Please note: part-time study may not always be viable and will be considered on a case by case basis, so please discuss this option with your proposed supervisor before making an application for this mode of study.

Open Days
The Postgraduate Virtual Open Day usually takes place at the end of October. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions to admissions staff and academics, explore the Colleges virtually, and to find out more about courses, the application process and funding opportunities. Visit the Postgraduate Open Day page for more details.
See further the Postgraduate Admissions Events pages for other events relating to Postgraduate study, including study fairs, visits and international events.
Shortlisted candidates are invited to attend the Babraham Institute's Postgraduate Open Day (virtual or in-person), usually held in mid- January each year. They will take laboratory visits with opportunities to talk to current PhD students. They will be informed about current research at the Institute and given an introduction to the Babraham Postgraduate Programme. They will also be given a tour of the Institute's cutting edge research facilities.
