Master in Medical Science

About the Course

The Master in Medical Science by research aims to provide specialist knowledge and develop research skills in scientific research within the field of tissue engineering. Tissue Engineering is a rapidly expanding field for application in regenerative medicine, which seeks to improve, replace, or regenerate repaired or damaged tissues and organs in humans. It is a multidisciplinary field that requires the assimilation of knowledge from biology, chemistry, and engineering.

Admission Requirement

• Meet all the postgraduate admission requirements set by the university.
• Degree in biology, engineering, or related subjects (e.g., biology, biochemistry, biomedicine, biomedical engineering, etc.) from a recognized institution.
• Passed the interview by faculties at the Department of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine.

Duration of Studies

The duration of studies for the Master in Medical Science program is:

• Full time: 3-6 semesters.
• Part time: 3-10 semesters.

Course Structure

The program involves research work in a laboratory and is designed to train students to scientifically plan, execute, collect data, analyze, evaluate, and report findings in a pre-determined research topic in the field of tissue engineering. Candidates will be guided and supervised by the faculties at the Department of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine. The program includes an induction course upon entry, scheduled weekly scientific meetings, and other seminars and workshops as a platform to gain and share knowledge in the area of tissue engineering.

Research and Evaluation

Students need to write up the research report in the form of a thesis that is examined and also present it in the form of scientific communications such as journals and conference presentations.
