The Master of Philosophy (Biological Sciences) comprises 24 credit points of coursework and a 72-credit point thesis. Academic units may award credit for the coursework component and will determine the appropriate entry point. We will ensure that a supervisor with appropriate expertise is allocated to a candidate at the time of application. We encourage you to identify potential supervisors who match your area of research interest by visiting the UOW Scholars website. We also advise you make contact with a potential supervisor to discuss your project prior to applying for admission. The thesis is examined by two examiners, with no more than one being internal.
