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.

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:
