Otolaryngology

The Postgraduate Diploma program in the Department of Otolaryngology aims to provide students with the skills required to carry out research related to the function of the auditory system and the clinical treatment of hearing loss.

Over the course of the year students will undertake an original, supervised research project. Students will be expected to obtain agreement from a supervisor willing to supervise the research project as a condition of selection into the program.

Students will develop abilities to:

• critically analyse research literature;
• formulate research plans based on hypotheses and statistical requirements;
• present and defend research results; and
• write a coherent research report.
