INSTITUTE OF CANCER RESEARCH 17A Onslow Gardens London SW7 3AL T 020 7352 8133 F 020 7225 2574 www.icr.ac.uk The Institute is a small, specialist establishment situated on two campuses in Chelsea and in Sutton. Our students are from many different scientific disciplines within the Biomedical and Clinical Sciences. Our Union is small, reflecting the size of The Institute, and has a membership of approximately 150 full-time and part-time PhD and MD(Res) research degrees and around 80 part-time taught postgraduate students. Only research and taught postgraduate degrees are offered at The Institute therefore making our Union particularly unique within the University of London. We are research-led and are the only College for just postgraduate students! Yes, we have no undergraduates! This means that within our academic year we have no set terms and our research degree students work all year-round. Social activities for students are organised by members of the Student’s Committee for students based on both sites. Last year, our annual cross-site Christmas dinner was held in central London and was an excellent opportunity for students of both sites to meet. The annual PhD Student Away Day is also organised by the Student’s Association. There are also events and facilities aimed at students on the individual sites: Chelsea Site At the Chelsea Site students enjoy all the trappings of a central-London location. As members of ULU, you are able to make use of the Union’s facilities at Malet Street. A number of clubs also run on a regular basis, such as the highly successful Cricket Team and the recently created 5 a-side Football Squad. On the social side of things London is second to none and the Chelsea students make the most of the entertainment on offer. The sheer plethora of pubs and clubs in the Village means you can never visit them all – but we certainly try! Sutton Site There is a range of sporting facilities which we have access to including a swimming pool, a gym and tennis/squash courts. Sports clubs such as yoga, karate, circuit training and ultimate Frisbee are available and all students are free to join. During the summer, a “Mini-Olympics” sporting competition between teams from different buildings takes place. Traditionally, the students organise a 6’ barbeque to celebrate the sporting event at the Finals Night. We also have our own onsite bar: “The pH Bar” at Sutton. The pH bar is open every Thursday and Friday and we all like to head down for a cheap drink or two, and enjoy a game of pool, snooker or even table football. It is provided as an amenity for everyone at The Institute and is run entirely by student and staff volunteer |
