A student who has successfully completed all the requirements of the Graduate Certificate in Cytogentics (exit only) may apply under exceptional circumstance provisions for graduation in that award subject to approval of the Head of School. For further definition refer to the Statement and Awards section under General Information.

Course Organisation
The course is designed in modular form. It is equivalent to the three (3) semesters Masters programs but because of the emphasis on laboratory acquired knowledge and skills, it will be conducted on a part-time basis over a three year period.
