What we offer
Graduate Certificate
Graduate Diploma
Our Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Master of Philosophy (MPhil) programs will enable you to contribute to health knowledge in your field of specialty and gain expertise that is innovative, relevant, and progressive.
Unique to UQ is the Clinician Scientist track for medical students who wish to pursue an MPhil or a PhD. Students can either undertake a Concurrent MD-MPhil alongside their MD, or an Intercalated MD-PhD and MD-MPhil which requires students to take time out of the MD program and work full time on their research.
