About this programme
This course provides advanced training in the field of infectious diseases including topics in medical microbiology, tropical infectious diseases and public and environmental health microbiology. It includes options of an individual research project or a research practicum within the research streams, and a coursework-only stream. Practicums are not offered every year. Students who complete the first year of the course with weighted average mark of at least 70% may apply to complete a research project or an extended research project in the second year, subject to availability of projects. Students undertaking the extended research project complete fewer coursework units. Students not undertaking a research project or practicum take the coursework-only stream. The course is aimed at science-based and medical professionals intending to work in research and hospital diagnostic laboratories, medical clinics, government health departments and international agencies.
