Master of Medicine - research
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Master of Medicine (Research) is the Faculty of Medicine's main postgraduate research degree, requiring candidates to submit a thesis based on original investigation under the direction of a UNSW-appointed supervisor. Candidates can enrol full-time, part-time, or as external students working at an affiliated teaching hospital or research facility, with annual progress reviews by the faculty's Higher Degree Committee and the possibility of a co-supervisor at an external institution where research is based outside UNSW itself. Because the degree is entirely research-driven, the specific medical field and research question depend on the individual candidate's interests and available supervision, spanning the full breadth of medical research the Faculty of Medicine supports. It suits medical or science graduates with a genuine research question who want a formal research credential, often as a pathway toward a PhD or a specialised medical research career, rather than students seeking a taught postgraduate medical qualification.
