Research
A research-led academic community
Our academic community is engaged in cutting edge, world-class research. It's this research that informs our teaching, lecturing and supervisions and one of the reasons that this is such an exciting place to learn.
Colleges are designed to encourage active discussions between students and researchers of different fields, and Lucy Cavendish, with its very relaxed and non-hierarchical structure, really fosters interdisciplinary conversations.
We hold regular seminars in which our researchers present their emerging findings to colleagues and to the College community as a whole.
With students from 85 countries engaged in interdisciplinary research across all subjects, Lucy Cavendish College is a global hub for cutting-edge discovery.
Cheers to Research
The college runs a 'Cheers to Research' event series which combines long-form presentation (ca. 15-20 minutes each) with the ‘3 Minute Thesis’ format to provide Lucy postgrads and postdocs with the opportunity to present their research to the college community in a relaxed setting.

Careers Support for Researchers
The University of Cambridge Careers Service provides bespoke support to all PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to support your career planning, whether you’re looking for idea, have a few ideas or have a clear idea of where you want to go after Cambridge. You may even be at different stages in different areas (eg, have a clear idea of continuing your academic research as a postdoc, while looking for ideas for research in industry). The Careers Service offers tailored online resources, confidential and impartial 1:1 careers consultations, and a series of researcher-specific events and workshops throughout the year covering all aspects of developing a career in academia, alongside support for exploring options beyond academic research. At Lucy Cavendish, we work closely with the Careers Service and offer a range of careers and enterprise programmes to our College community.
Travel, Research and Conferences awards
The College offers grants to support student research, travel to conferences, and other academic endeavours. Applications are reviewed at the beginning of each term.
