Assessment
The courses will be examined by a range of assessment items, including assignments, MCQs and Short Answer Questions.
Graduation
The degree will only be granted in conjunction with the award of MBChB when a student finished all requirements for MBChB and MSc. If a student fails to complete the MBChB, he/she will be deemed as not eligible for the MSc irrespective of the courses he/she has completed during the MSc studies.
Admission Requirements
Potential candidates must fulfil the general qualifications for admission prescribed by the Graduate School; and
- Currently an MBChB student of CUHK;
- Should have finished the Third Year (Sixyear Curriculum) or the Second Year (Five-year Curriculum) and has passed the First Professional Examination if the student has been admitted to the MBChB programme from secondary school.
Application Procedures
Applicants can obtain application materials from Faculty and Planning Office, Faculty of Medicine. All the supporting documents should reach the Faculty and Planning office on or before the application deadline (end of May).
Course Descriptions
This course is also taken by research postgraduate students under Division of Anatomical and Cellular Pathology. This joint course will give an introduction to basic concepts as well as modern techniques and technologies in Molecular Medicine. Current usages of molecular diagnostic tests will be discussed and cancer will be used as a disease model in most of the examples covered in the course.
This is a course in biostatistics which is compulsory to be taken during the course of studies for MPhil or PhD students in the Faculty of Medicine.
This is a course in biostatistics which is compulsory to be taken during the course of studies for MPhil or PhD students in the Faculty of Medicine. There will be course work and a pass is required to graduate.
This course is also taken by research postgraduate students under Division of Biomedical Sciences. The course provides students with a solid foundation and understanding of important concepts and topical issues of biomedical sciences. The course also includes discussions on current research areas of interest, chosen to stimulate and foster the interests of students in research of biomedical sciences.
This course is also taken by research postgraduate students under Division of Biomedical Sciences. The course introduces to students contemporary issues in biomedical techniques and skills, with emphasis on the current research topics carried out in the School of Biomedical Sciences. Appreciation of the lecture topics will be enhanced by practicals or demonstrations of relevant research techniques.
This course is also taken by research postgraduate students under Division of Biomedical Sciences. The course aims to introduce general concepts and principles in developmental biology and regenerative medicine. Morphogenesis and development of embryos, neural crest and germ cells – and the genetics involved will be addressed. Basic and applied biology of regenerative medicine focusing on embryonic stem cell and induced pluripotent stem cell biology will be also covered.
This course is also taken by research postgraduate students under Division of Biomedical Sciences. The objective of this course is to provide students with an overview of neural, vascular and metabolic biology, and to explore the origin and treatments of specific disorders. Current research topics carried out in the School of Biomedical Sciences related to these fields will also be introduced. The course will consist of lectures and guided studies.
This course is also taken by research postgraduate students under Division of Biomedical Sciences. This course aims to provide students with the basic understanding of cancer biology and experimental therapeutics. Major topics include the molecular basis of serval key hallmarks of human cancer, and genome-based cancer therapy. This is a 2-credit unit course and is composed mainly of lectures and will be supplemented with demonstration of relevant techniques.
The student will conduct a substantial and in-depth research project in biomedical or clinical sciences under supervision of a professor/professors. The project includes extensive literature review and practical/laboratory/clinical work.
