The Education Committee acts for the welfare and progression of postgraduate students based in a core-funded Cancer Research UK group. The goal of the committee is for every student to have an approved research degree proposal at the start of their studies, ensuring this is both achievable and intellectually stimulating.
Alongside the supervisory team, the Education Committee monitors student progression, attends student talks and provides written feedback to students throughout the various yearly assessment stages of their project.
