ADB-Japan Master Scholarship Program for international Students in Australia

As a January starter, you’ll enjoy the same benefits as our September students; including welcome events, access to scholarships (subject to eligibility), accommodation support, and full access to our careers and student support services.Our expert academics and postgraduate specialists shared insights about our January Master’s courses as part of a webinar series. 

Teaching and learning

In Semester 1, the taught phase of the course, you will study modern concepts of molecular genetics through intensive laboratory classes. You will be trained in laboratory techniques and will develop your proficiency in experimental design through hands-on laboratory experiments.

Alongside the laboratory classes, you will have a core lecture programme, which is shared between our various postgraduate laboratory-based courses and will develop your specialist knowledge. There are also optional lectures in fields related to your own, which will allow you to increase your understanding of the interdisciplinary aspects of your speciality.
