We offer two programmes of research and study here at the Department of Psychiatry
-
MPhil in Medical Sciences
-
Doctoral studies (PhD or MD)
Our research degrees do not qualify you to become a psychiatrist. To become a psychiatrist in the UK, you have to first of all qualify as a doctor at medical school. This is then followed by two foundation years (working in a range of specialities, including internal medicine and surgery), three years as a basic psychiatric trainee, then three years as a higher psychiatric trainee.
Having a Cambridge research degree can help you on your way to becoming a psychiatrist.
