Our PhD degrees are offered full-time and part-time. Part-time is available to Malaysian students only. The full-time PhD would normally take three years of full-time research with a further year for writing up. Our MPhil degree may be awarded after one year of study – followed by a one year write-up period – if you or the University decides that this is a more appropriate qualification.
Research is crucial to the pharmaceutical industry and our academic staff are at the leading edge of scientific and healthcare developments. The current research areas reflect the breadth of expertise of our staff, the acquisition of research funds and recent applications for grants. We offer high-quality doctoral training to postgraduate students who wish to pursue an MPhil or PhD. As a research student, you will work under a supervisor who will assist you in your research and thesis design.
