Doctor of Philosophy in Medical Technology (International program)
- Degree Designation
- Philosophy
The Doctor of Philosophy Programme in Medical Technology is the international programme that aims to encourage the student’s ability in seeking their own ways of learning and researching for the innovations. The programme provokes into an active learning process of the students via goal oriented activities, problem solving, individual experience sharing and searching for new information via information technology. Research and publication on the thesis work in an international standard journal are also included.
- Objectives
The goals of Ph.D. in Medical Technology are focused to prepare the effective researchers and innovating researches in the broad areas of medical and biological sciences. The faculty has a broad spectrum of expertise, which can provide training opportunities in a wide range of disiplines. These include hematology, clinical microbiology, virology, immunology, clinical biochemistry, host-parasite interactions, free radicals in biology, regulation of gene expression, and molecular biology.
Graduates from this programme should be able to :
1. Analyse and synthesize the concepts both in basic and clinical laboratory sciences.
2. Search and updated for new knowledge continuously through new technology.
3. Apply trends of knowledge and concept in sciences to various areas of research effectively. Create or present research proposal, organize research works independently.
4. Communicate internationally by both oral and written means. Transfer and exchange the academic skills in the medical technology and related sciences with others.
