Masters by Research (MPhil)
A Master of Philosophy (MPhil) degree allows you to undertake an original research project, guided by an experienced researcher. An MPhil fosters the skills you need to develop, conduct and communicate the results of a scientific research program. An MPhil also equips you with transferable skills such as leadership, communication, critical thinking and teamwork. These skills allow IMB MPhil graduates to secure positions not only in research and academia, but also in industry and government roles.

Masters by Coursework Research
The University of Queensland offers a number of coursework Masters programs in the area of Molecular Bioscience, including;
- Master of Molecular Biology (MMolBiol)
- Master of Biotechnology (MBiotech)
- Master of Bioinformatics (MBioinf)
All of these programs incorporate optional research modules (of 2, 4, 8 and even 16 units), which can be undertaken within selected IMB Research Groups. Please note that Masters research projects are not advertised, but are negotiated on a case-by-case basis between the applicant (you) and an IMB Group Leader.
The strategy for choosing (and being chosen by) an advisor, and selecting a project, is very similar to that followed by prospective PhD candidates.
