Overview

Opportunities exist in our internationally recognised research programmes to complete a Master of Science(Thesis) (MSc(Thesis)) degree in Physiology.

The MSc(Thesis) is a one- or two-year programme (depending on whether you enter at the first or second year of the MSc(Thesis) programme).

One-year MSc(Thesis) requires the previous completion of a 400-level degree in Physiology (BSc(Hons), PGDipSci, BBiomed(Hons)) which includes a 60-point research dissertation.
The MSc(Thesis) will be awarded after successful completion of a full year MSc(Thesis) research thesis.
Two-year MSc(Thesis) requires completion of prescribed 400-level papers in the first year.
The second year comprises the completion of a full year MSc(Thesis) research thesis.

Applications meeting the requirement above for a one year master's are able to start their thesis at any time during the year.

Candidates can be of any nationality and must have attained a degree in biomedical science or a closely-related subject.
