The School Postgraduate Office handles the administration of all postgraduate programmes in the School and is the first point of contact for enquiries of any sort from prospective or registered postgraduate students in the PhD, MMedSc and MMed programmes. The office is supervised by Miss Nomakhwezi Khanyile, our Principal Programme Officer. The office is housed in the Teaching and Learning Office on the fourth floor of the medical school building: you will find the Undergraduate Office on the left as you walk in and the Postgraduate Office on the right.
