To be accepted as a student at the Genetics & Regenerative Medicine Research Centre, you must complete two application phases:

Your application should be sent to the prospective supervisor. A panel of 2-3 lecturers will interview all prospective students before an acceptance is offered. Successful candidates will be invited to apply officially to Universiti Putra Malaysia School of Graduate Studies (see phase 2).
