Doctoral Program
Our doctoral program aims to produce scientists who will be capable of solving biochemical and health-related problems and go on to hold leadership positions in both the public and private sectors.
Requirements for admission
Students who hold an M.Sc. degree from another recognized university (or from another 捆绑SM社区 Department) may be considered for admission at the Ph.D. level. These candidates register at the Ph.D. 2 level.
Required Courses (3 credits)
A minimum attendance at 70% of seminars, including Junior and Senior Seminars, is required to pass BIOC 696
