Research Training
We provide an innovative and inclusive academic environment, building on a strong legacy of world-class excellence.
Honours and Master of Biomedical Science
Honours is a fourth-year undergraduate course made up of a combination of a research project and coursework subjects. It is designed to develop your ability to solve problems, analyse data, read and think critically, and communicate clearly.
The Master of Biomedical Science is a coursework master’s degree and includes a substantial research project. The course encourages students to think innovatively and provides an awareness of the health and economic benefits of biomedical research. Graduates of this course gain an understanding of the research process, specialist knowledge and professional skills that are attractive to employers.
Both courses offer pathways onto a PhD.
