A specialisation is a focused collection of courses within a programme that allows you to gain deep, targeted knowledge in a specific sub-field. Normally these courses make up more than 50 percent of a qualification, some of which lead to registration within a certain field. They may be interdisciplinary, professionally oriented, or designed to meet accreditation requirements. Specialisations often restrict elective choice in favour of a clearly defined study plan.

Completed specialisations will appear on your academic transcript.

Molecular Medicine studies the cellular and molecular basis of disease. The goal of Molecular Medicine is to develop a greater, more comprehensive understanding of human biology and disease.
Hosted within the Department of Molecular Medicine and Pathology, School of Medical Sciences, this subject looks at the molecular structure of life, translating molecules and genes to improve understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of human disease.

PhD - Doctor of Philosophy

Research in Molecular Medicine in the School of Medical Sciences is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms of disease. This requires an integrative approach to the cellular and sub-microscopic aspects of disease using a range of biochemical, proteomic and genomic techniques.
Our research is often performed in collaboration with other departments and schools in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences or the Faculty of Science.

We welcome research proposals in topics relating to the following themes:
- Infection and Immunity
- Cancer and Genomic Medicine
- Stem cells and Development
- Metabolism
Our research themes are led by staff who are internationally recognised experts and highly regarded researchers.
