Postgraduate
Our school is home to a number of active research groups that provide opportunities for postgraduate research students to work towards a PhD degree or Masters by Research. For international students, we also offer a Master of Philosophy. Information on all programs can be found in the UNSW Online Handbook.
Doctor of Philosophy
The Doctoral degree programs within the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences provide the highest level of training in key areas of scientific research. Students work on an independent research project encompassing the broader interests of one of the research teams within the School.
In the early stages of the program, students receive close supervision and guidance in the management of their project. In the later stages, however, students are encouraged to exercise initiative and demonstrate originality. In the last year of the program, the candidate should be able to work independently and be guided rather than directed by the supervisor.
