Tygerberg Doctoral Office
The Tygerberg Doctoral Office powers PhD studies in the
Matie Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences
- from proposal development to graduation day and success.
Our campus is situated in the picturesque Tygerberg area of Cape Town, South Africa. The FMHS counts
among the top 150 medical and health sciences schools in the world, and the top four in Africa. The Tygerberg Doctoral Office
administers the examination of full research (100%) masters theses; facilitates the SU Pre-Doctoral Short Course in Medicine and Health Sciences; supplies comprehensive support to all stakeholders in PhD studies; provides a campus-based referral point for consolidocs, postdoctoral fellows, and their hosts; and fulfils the secretariate function of the FMHS Committee for Postgraduate Research. Our PhD Support pages contain detailed information on the different steps of the doctoral journey. A brief overview of these resources is available for download in
brochure format. The detailed regulations that apply to doctoral students are captured in the SU Yearbook (Part 1 - General) as well as the FMHS
Faculty Yearbook (Part 12 of the SU Yearbook). Doctoral graduates are showcased at linktr.ee/tyg_phd.
