Master of Medical Science

The Master of Medical Sciences program at MAHSA University is primarily intended for students who intend to pursue doctoral studies (Ph.D., M.D., or the equivalent). Graduates will be prepared for a career in research and teaching in the medical and health sciences, as well as be able to apply the knowledge they have gained to real-life situations, develop critical thinking and social skills, and emphasise an integrative and technological understanding of biological systems at all levels.

Graduates gain proficiency in leadership, communication, and concept management. They can also assess complicated problems, plan, carry out, and publish their findings. The program introduces them to rigorous study and research methodologies in a few chosen medical science fields. This curriculum was created to meet the demands and tendencies of the present day. This curriculum, which combines classroom instruction, online learning, and hands-on lab and hospital sessions, is quite popular. The Ministry of Higher Education and the Malaysian Qualifications Agency have granted it accreditation. All of the fields' experienced lecturers teach the course. There are 116 skilled and knowledgeable medical scientists working in the Faculty of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.
