Master in Medical Science is a research-based programme for students who graduate from a bachelor’s degree in medical science or a related field. It aims to nurture students with holistic approaches including the opportunities for national or international collaborations, the specialised training courses (seminar, workshops, etc), and a rich clinical research experience.
All research students are required to undertake two modules. The two modules are as listed below:
Clinical Research Methodology - the taught course and students are required to pass this module before the commencement of project. Students will have a designated supervisor who is a member of academic staff with research expertise in the student’s area of study.
