The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) is Universiti Malaya’s premier research training degree. The pinnacle of academic achievement here at Universiti Malaya, the Ph.D is awarded based on the examination of a thesis, prepared under supervision, which represents an original and significant contribution to knowledge and comprehension in the chosen field of study.
A PhD study is typically interdisciplinary in nature. Students can also come from different background (not necessary medical physics). If you are interested to pursue your PhD study with us, feel free to contact any of the academics for further consultation.
