Ziauddin University (ZU) is well-known for its reputation in research excellence, innovation, and quality of education. The postgraduate programme in Health Sciences started at ZU in 1997.
To inculcate the capacity for critical reasoning, logical understanding, and effective communication to prepare future teachers and researchers who are well-versed and have the will to keep up with the recent advances in the field of gross, microscopic and developmental anatomy. To explore and investigate research ideas related to subfields of anatomy and generate high-quality research.Â
- State of the art infrastructure.
- Supervision and training of the researchers by highly qualified MPhil and PhD faculty members.
- Candidates must possess an MBBS/BDS degree or equivalent degree (16 years of education in a relevant subject) from an HEC recognised university.
- Minimum CGPA of 2.00/4.00 or 60% marks in the undergraduate degree.Â

The purpose of the Molecular Medicine MPhil Programme is to develop knowledge and skills that have got widespread applications in both basic sciences and clinical work at the medical institutions, research and development (R & D) organisations, the pharmaceutical and chemical industry, molecular biology laboratories and clinical labs, etc.
The MPhil in Molecular Medicine provides excellent training for clinical and science graduates looking to pursue further research (including PhD study) and also those interested in a career in clinical service or a related discipline. The experience gained during the course is excellent preparation for a PhD in the UK or elsewhere.
The graduates will be well placed to take advantage of employment opportunities in the life science, biotech and pharmaceutical industries, academics, research, and hospitals, including practical clinical work and technical executive positions in hospital laboratories. The research degree would always be an additional academic qualification in all fields for clinical faculty to give a research edge for promotions on various academic posts. Training based education is largely focused on high-quality clinical care, but the academic institutions require additional research acumen for the generation of new knowledge from evidence-based medicine; therefore, they can work as research associates/research officers and scientists in clinical departments.Â
