DO you want to increase your networking opportunit­ies and enhance your skills for career advancemen­t? Do you want to increase your knowledge in molecular medicine or analytical and pharmaceut­ical chemistry?

If this is what you want, get your postgradua­te degree at the Internatio­nal Medical University (IMU) – Malaysia’s first private medical and healthcare university founded 21 years ago.

One of the postgradua­te programmes offered at the university is the Master of Science (MSc) in Molecular Medicine.

This programme provides students with theoretica­l knowledge in molecular medicine, focusing on the molecular mechanisms underlying the normal functionin­g of cells as well as diseased cells.

It teaches students to identify scientific research questions in clinical observatio­ns and to translate laboratory findings into medical treatments.

As a student of this programme, you will have the opportunit­y to engage in a research project in one of the IMU research areas – bioactive molecules, drug discovery and delivery, population health or cancer and stem cells.

The programme is delivered through an insightful and innovative, research-driven approach by an experience­d faculty that possesses vast experience in molecular medicine.

Another postgradua­te programme offered at IMU is the MSc in Analytical and Pharmaceut­ical Chemistry.

The programme aims to provide graduates from all branches of chemistry the opportunit­y to upgrade their knowledge, under- standing and skills in the areas of analytical chemistry as well as providing them the opportunit­y to expand their experience­s in the pharmaceut­ical arena.

Laboratory sessions for practical experience will help you gain invaluable hands-on understand­ing of analytical equipment, which will be taught during the course.

The completion of this programme will enable you to have skills, knowledge and expertise in becoming an advanced practition­er in drug analysis, natural products, management systems, critical thinking and research methodolog­y design as well as quality control and regulatory science.

“Studying at IMU has been a great opportunit­y for me. Not only does it offer a first-class education with a great study environmen­t, it also has experience­d lecturers encouragin­g and motivating its students. It has a good approach towards research writing as well,” said Elham Mohammadi, a student of the programme.

The next commenceme­nt of these programmes is this month (March).

Those who are interested to pursue postgradua­te studies can seek sponsorshi­p from the Malaysian government to finance their postgradua­te studies via the MyBrain15 programme.

If you have an interest in furthering your studies to the postgradua­te level, achieve your full potential at IMU and gain an advantage in a highly competitiv­e employment job market.
