Master of Biomedical Science for 2009

Course overview

The Master of Biomedical Science is designed for students interested in undertaking postgraduate research in biomedical sciences. A candidate is required to carry out a prescribed program of research for a specified period under the direct supervision of a member of the academic staff. The supervisor, in consultation with the candidate, is responsible for developing the research program to be followed by the candidate, and for reporting at regular intervals on the candidate's progress. Students with a class 1 or class 2A honours degree in a relevant discipline or students who have completed an MBiomedSc (part 1) with results equivalent to H2A or better may enrol directly in MBiomedSc (part 2). In normal circumstances, assessment will be by submission of a 100% research thesis which embodies the results of an investigation carried out by the candidate, under supervision, which shows independence of thought and which demonstrates the candidate's ability to carry out research in his/her discipline. Appropriate postgraduate coursework units may be taken with the approval of the faculty board.
