MPHIL in Biomedical Sciences in Biomedical Sciences at Macquarie University

High quality, collaborative and translational medical research is the department's strength. It's the reason we attract such a high calibre of teaching staff and higher degree research candidates. The Department of Biomedical Sciences' research investigates the cause of disease at the molecular and cellular level, the genetic origins of cancers, how neurological and cardiovascular diseases develop and the underlying reasons behind human nervous system dysfunction. The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is an ungraded degree awarded for research that demonstrates that the candidate has made a contribution to knowledge in a particular field of study by presenting new facts or by demonstrating an independent critical ability to evaluate existing material in a new light.
