Postgraduate Study

Caius has a large and thriving community of some 250 graduate students. Some take their first degree at Caius and remain with us for further study, but most come to us from other universities, including a large number from overseas. Our graduate students play a full and active part in College and University life

We consider candidates for all the courses offered by the University, but give priority to those wishing to pursue research, especially to candidates for the Ph.D. Those who are not already members of the College are admitted for Clinical Medicine or for the Postgraduate Certificate of Education only in exceptional cases.

We provide rooms in College houses for all graduate students for up to three years, and have a limited amount of accommodation which is suitable for married students. Graduates have their own Tutor and their own common room, the Middle Common Room (MCR). The MCR Committee runs a full programme of academic and social activities for graduate students at Caius. Special dinners are arranged regularly for graduates and their guests in the College Hall, together with exchange dinners with other Colleges, speaker meetings and music and arts events.

The University’s Graduate Studies Prospectus provides details of courses and procedures.
