Administration process for masters research projects
Before your enrolment can be approved, you will be required to have identified a thesis research topic and to have come to an agreement with an academic staff member about supervision of your thesis research.
This process is for students enrolling in: MBiomedSc (MEDSCI 796A/B), MSc in Physiology (PHYSIOL 796A/B), MSc in Pharmacology (PHARMCOL 796A/B) with a main supervisor in School of Medical Science, School of Medicine, Liggins Institute or School of Biological Sciences.
- Select a project of interest and arrange to see the supervisor offering a project visit research projects page Finda Thesis.
- When you meet the supervisor take your academic record and your CV.
- Apply for admission in the appropriate programme.
- The student and supervisor should then prepare together a masters project proposal form (see below) and submit this to the Masters Advisory Commitee.
- A mid year progress report is also required to be submitted to the SMS- Masters Advisory Committee.

Masters thesis submission
Students will need to submit three temporary-bound copies of their work and a digital copy to their faculty student centre. Deadlines for submission are as follows:
First semester enrolment- 28 February
Second Semester enrolment- 15 July
December enrolment- 30 November
Faculty student centres will manage the examination process for masters thesis and research portfolios.
Students will be sent the substantive comments that their examiners have made, and thesis candidates will be able to make minor corrections to their work before having their thesis hard-bound and deposited in the University library.
All questions regarding this process should be made at the appropriate faculty student centre MBiomedSc (FMHS) and MSc (FoS).
