What is the difference between an ordinary PhD and one obtained from the CBC?
A. The CBC not only focuses on the science that needs to be undertaken during a PhD but also trains students with the core transferable skills that many members of industry and academia deem post graduates are lacking, that would make them imminently more employable. For more information on our transferable skills programme please visit our transferable skills page. The CBC also trains their scientists to become multidisciplinary. This does not mean that students knowledge and skills are diluted, it means that students who are already strong in a physical discipline will be able to apply their knowledge to biological problems, having been trained in this extra area.
