Master of Philosophy in conjunction with Sydney Medical Program

From 2011 Sydney Medical School offers selected MBBS students the opportunity to complete a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in conjunction with the Sydney Medical Program (SMP).

This program is designed for exceptional SMP students who seek a more extended research experience than that offered in the current MBBS Honours program.
The MPhil will appeal to students who have research ambitions, those who have entered the SMP with a prior Honours degree and those who seek the career advantage of an extra degree.
The MPhil can also be flexibly integrated with longer-term career planning. For example, an MPhil research project could be readily converted into a PhD project with the PhD being completed either by interrupting the SMP or after graduation. The MPhil (or PhD) may facilitate entry into postgraduate specialist training, and the medical colleges may grant those who have completed the research a reduction of up to a year in the duration of their advanced training.
