The primary objective of the PhD program in physiology is to train students in research and teaching in basic and applied Physiology. The program is applicable to holders of master (MSc) degrees, MD and MBBS graduates with high academic standards and with the required English proficiency tests. Additional screening would include a departmental interview. The program is available only on full-time basis and is based primarily on research, with the addition of limited coursework where deficiencies are identified by the departmental board. The program includes at least three years of full-time supervised research. Candidates are encouraged to choose their field of research and identify a supervisor before they are admitted to the program.
