Students are advised to submit the required documents soonest possible (it takes an estimate of +/- 2 months to complete the whole application process before approval is granted). Failure to submit all required documents early may cause delays in the approval process (leading to a further delay in data collection, and submission of dissertation on time).
For any further inquiries, please contact PM Dr. Norziaton Ismail Khan (Fellow - Research Ethics Research Faculty) at 03 - 3258 7480.
Thank you.
