Brief Introduction of the Program

MPhil in Physiology will be a two years program after the completion of MBBS, BDS, DPT, DVM, Pharm-D and BS four years or sixteen years of education with major in Physiology.

Students may opt for PhD after completion of MPhil program with some advance courses. It is expected that the program will be in great demand. It will enhance knowledge of the students which will provide them an edge for competing for jobs in the market.

Major focus of the program is to provide training and advanced knowledge in the subject of Physiology. Hardly any other program in Physiology in other universities has such a focused program. The program will be unique regarding maintaining high quality education offered in the selected areas, in which there is a significant demand in the market. In this way we will be bringing a significant change in the market and shall be playing a vital role in the development of Basic Sciences Faculties/Departments in various Universities in the country.

Objectives of the Program

The program is designed to cater the growing demand for graduate and post graduate studies. The specific objectives are:

  • Provision of quality education.
  • Train graduates as per demand of Colleges/Medical Colleges/Public & Private Sector

Universities/Institutions.

  • Produce responsible leaders to contribute for ethical education in the field of Physiology
  • Ensure sound training for advanced research.
  • Develop creative and analytical thinking in postgraduate students

Scope of the program

MPhil in Physiology will be a two years program and consists of 4 semesters. The MPhil program in Physiology will be a new program, not only to meet the growing demand for higher education but also to provide opportunities to our talented students to get better jobs.

The employment opportunities for holding MPhil in Physiology are manifolds compared to their current supply. Our program will provide trained faculty for Medical Colleges and Universities to produce highly educated, well trained MPhil Physiology work force for public sector and private universities. In addition to this, our program will provide trained researchers for private and public sectors

MPhil program will not only provide economic benefits/return but its social benefits will also be many times more than any other program in comparable disciplines. The MPhil degree is now an entry-level requirement for teaching in most of the colleges and universities in Pakistan.  They are also in demand for colleges having master level programs.
