Master of Medicine/Surgery (5131) (083626A)

At The University of Notre Dame Australia, every research student is guided and advised by a member of staff who is a leader in his/her field. Students' research supervisor will assist them in the preparation of their research proposal and will continue to mentor and guide their work until the completion of the degree.

The coursework component of the degree consists of four compulsory research-related subjects. These modules of study will serve to develop students' personal competencies in critical analysis and scholarly writing as well as provide ample opportunity for them to formulate substantial elements of the intended research.

For the research component of the program, students will undertake a research project that makes a significant contribution to the medical field. The thesis will comprise the standard elements: an abstract, background and literature review, methods, results, discussion and conclusion. Similarly, the research dissertation will be based on a manuscript that has been accepted for publication, and comprise also a literature review as well as conclusions.

By undertaking postgraduate research studies at the University, students will have the opportunity to further their research expertise and make a valuable contribution to the field of medicine.
