The Ph.D. degree is an advanced research degree intended to reflect a level of training consistent with the ability of the candidate to function as an independent research scientist. This involves successful completion of course work reflecting a knowledge of modern Immunology, as well as a demonstrated ability to carry out research of publishable quality. To qualify for the degree each candidate must submit a satisfactory thesis based on his/her original research, and successfully defend it in a Senate examination. The Ph.D. thesis should contain a body of original research roughly corresponding in quantity to that which would be appropriate for two or three publications in a recognized refereed journal.
