We offer you a fine graduate education in contemporary microbiology and immunology designed to equip you for a successful career. The School aims to send all graduate students to at least one international conference during their candidature. In the past, students have attended conferences in places such as Amsterdam, San Diego, Bologna and Edinburgh. On the recommendation of the supervisor or Head of School, the students may upgrade their enrolment to a PhD. Examination is by a research thesis. Formal reviews of the student's progress are held 3 months after commencement and also midterm.
Examination is by research thesis only.
To be allowed to enrol in the PhD program, a student must have an Honours degree Class 1, Class 2.1 or equivalent. Applications should be received by the School in November and these are considered by the Research Committee and places offered in December for the following year.
