Students seeking to modify their subject of study must obtain authorization from both their Department and the Postgraduate Affairs Committee within the School of Medicine. Annual registration and fee payment are mandatory for all MD candidates until they submit their thesis. Under special conditions, students may apply for a Leave of Absence, which requires endorsement from their advisor, Department/School, and College. During this leave period, students are exempt from fee payments, lose access to university resources, and cannot use their student identification. Retroactive leave approvals are typically limited to medically verified cases. Those who neglect to formally request leave or maintain registration and communication with their advisor will face deregistration and official withdrawal by the Graduate Studies Office. MD candidates are expected to present their thesis in their final registered year, with a four-year completion deadline from their program's commencement date. Extensions beyond this timeframe require a formal School application and review process.

Qualification Requirements
Potential applicants for the degree of MD through prior published work must have obtained a standard of at least Second Class Honours, Grade I, in an approved Medical degree, or possess relevant professional and clinical experience to allow them to be considered under the University's policy for Recognition of Prior Learning for Admission to Research Degrees. At least three years must elapse from the date of obtaining the degree of Bachelor of Medicine.
In order to be considered for the MD through the entry mechanism of prior published work, a candidate should demonstrate a coherent theme in the publications that will form the basis of the MD thesis. A prospective candidate must lodge with the University, through the School of Medicine's Postgraduate Affairs Committee, and its Chairperson:
A Curriculum Vitae;
Four copies of each published work;
A summary of the contribution to knowledge represented by the published output;
A statement identifying where and when the research contributing to the published output was undertaken;
In cases where any work to be considered has been written in collaboration with other persons, the candidate shall submit a statement quantifying their contribution to the formulation, execution, analysis and publication of the research;
Statements from any co-authors: If the published work, or any part of it, appears under the names of more than one author, the candidate shall obtain a statement from the co-author(s), indicating as precisely as possible the contribution made by the candidate. Four copies of each of these original statements must also be lodged.
The application will be considered by the School of Medicine's Postgraduate Affairs Committee who may invite the applicant to present in person their research, which will allow any issues to be clarified through questions. The Postgraduate Affairs Committee will determine whether the published works submitted prima facie constitutes a qualification for the MD degree. In forming a judgment the Postgraduate Affairs Committee may take account of the general criteria for the award of a MD.
The Postgraduate Affairs Committee may consult with the Professor of the Discipline and external experts in arriving at their decision.
The Postgraduate Affairs Committee will determine the appropriate registration period.
