D. Phil. Programme (Biostatistics) PhD/DPhil

The D. Phil. Programme (Biostatistics) is intended to guide candidates to work independently, arrive at new insights and contribute to research in a wide range of research projects in Biostatistics. It is tailored to allow the student to make a distinct contribution to the knowledge and understanding of Biostatistics and afford evidence of ability to carry out original research in a well-defined problem in Biostatistics. The coursework shall be taken along with research and thesis work for cognitive and theoretical understanding of the area of specialisation in Biostatistics. This programme, it is hoped, shall jumpstart industrialization perceptions in developing countries.
