OVERVIEW
This programme aims to improve the initiative, problem-solving ability, communication skills and technical
expertise of the candidate and to provide graduates with advanced knowledge and competence in Medical
Biochemistry. It also aims to develop independent researchers in Health sciences who can contribute to the
generation of knowledge at an advanced level by conducting original research that addresses complex
context-based issues, under the guidance of the research supervisor. The research project will culminate in
the production of a research report in the form of a scientific paper. It is envisaged that the graduates of this
programme will, through further study, contribute to the field and national priorities for growth and
development in Health sciences.
