5.3.5 Research Projects of the Programme

Research projects leading to the doctoral degree correspond to the strategic plans of the Faculty, Mahidol University, Ministry of Education and the country, respectively. These include basic and applied medical science related to tropical diseases and public health. The researches then cover laboratory and field disciplined. In terms of laboratory investigation the research involves for examples pathophysiology of severe malaria insecticide susceptibility, development of diagnosis kits and vaccines for tropical diseases serotyping of malaria and DNA Bank of mosquito vectors in Thailand. Field investigation covers epidemiology of tropical diseases and application of geographical information system in medical health science and well as the study of social-behavioral and environmental impacts on tropical diseases and other public health problems.

All of the above types of leave, except for Category 3, military service, form part of the time allocated for completion of the course, e.g. for M.Sc. and Ph.D., is counted as part of the 5-year maximum time.

The University Fee is still applied for all above categories of leave, to maintain student status.

Resignation

If a student wishes to resign from the programme entirely, he/she can write to the Programme Director, Dean of Faculty of Graduate Studies, through the Deputy Dean for Education. Please contact the School Office.

Data gathering overseas

Students may collect thesis data in their home country. Approval of the

Thesis Advisory Committee is required. Students are to provide their plan and duration of overseas data gathering, and provide 3-monthly reports to the Thesis Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee is responsible for finding someone in the foreign country to be co-advisor during this time.

Funding support for the above is not available. If the co-advisor is unable to come to Thailand for the thesis examinations, he/she can send questions for use in the examination.

Should the ehcial consideration is involved, Mahidol University will transfer this responsibility to the Ethics Committee in the country of data collection. Student, however, have to inform the Faculty of Tropical Medicine of such ethical approval.

Accommodation

The Faculty has 65 rooms available. In addition, there is privately operated accommodation off-campus. The School can assist students in finding appropriate accommodation to suit their needs. Trop Med International House:, Accommodation Rates
