The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Experimental Medicine (Thesis) offered by the Division of Clinical and Translational Research in the Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences is a research-intensive program that emphasizes future-oriented and intensive learning opportunities. The program's objective is to equip students with skills in research methodology, critical thinking, and scientific communication to either continue their studies or pursue professional opportunities.

The program may also be taken as one of the following options:

Bioethics option: allows students to conduct innovative research in relation to a bioethical issue pertinent to health care, and to acquire a working knowledge of bioethical issues from the current viewpoint of other relevant disciplines such as law, philosophy, and religious studies. Please be advised that there is no Winter intake for this option.

Digital Health Innovation option: focuses on the basics of clinical epidemiology, medical artificial intelligence, clinical innovation, and applied data science, including the use and generation of digitized health and social data using specialized software. Please be advised that there is no Winter intake for this option.

Environment option: offered in collaboration with the Bieler School of Environment, the program considers how various dimensions (scientific, social, legal, ethical) interact to define environment and sustainability issues. Please be advised that this option is not offered in 2024-2025.

Admission Requirements

6.5+
M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Experimental Medicine
Candidates who hold only an undergraduate degree in the medical and allied sciences (B.Sc. degree or an M.D. degree), must apply to the M.Sc. program, unless they have an undergraduate CGPA of 3.5 or more out of a possible 4.0, in which case they may apply for direct entry into the Ph.D. if they so desire. Candidates who already hold an M.Sc. apply directly to the Ph.D. program.
Admission is based on an evaluation by the Admissions Committee, which looks for evidence of high academic achievement, and on acceptance by a research director. All students must be financially supported either by their supervisor or through studentships or fellowships.
In addition to the documentation currently required by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, a letter from the candidate's research director outlining the M.Sc. or Ph.D. project is necessary.
