Degree Designation
DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY(ANATOMY AND STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY)
Additional advantages of the programme
Graduate students in M.Sc. and Ph.D. programmes can select their research topics from a
wide variety of ongoing research both in the Department of Anatomy and in the Center of
Excellence.
Most doctoral students will get scholarships and / or research assistantships. In addition, most
will have a chance to go abroad as part of his / her research and work at a renowed university
for at least 7 months to 1 year.
Market demand for graduates from our programmes is high in both government and private
universities. Graduates will be trained to be professional in both teaching and research skills.
