Note:
For research postgraduate students in the School of Public Health, MMPH6002 Introduction to Biostatistics can be taken in lieu of GRSC6035 Introduction to Quantitative Research Methods (The Sciences & Related Disciplines) or GRSC6037 Introduction to Qualitative Research Methods (The Sciences & Related Disciplines) but it will not be counted towards fulfilling the coursework requirement of 3 core courses of the Medical Faculty.
All other students will need to formally apply for course exemption to have MMPH6002 replace GRSC6035/6037.
SSAF6001 Basic Laboratory Safety Course for RPg Candidate in the Faculty of Science
In order to enhance the safety awareness and knowledge of Science RPg students, this 3-hour safety course (SSAF6001), offered by the Safety Office, is a compulsory course to all Science RPg students (MPhil & 3-year PhD & 4-year PhD candidates).
This safety course will be conducted twice a year (one in each semester). Students may register this course during the on-line course enrolment period and they will be informed of the schedule via email. SSAF6001 is treated as an independent course of the Faculty that RPG candidates are required to complete before the candidature could be confirmed. Departmental courses only refers to departmental core and elective courses, in other words, completing at least 50% of departmental courses does not count SSAF6001.
The course will cover general laboratory safety, specific laboratory hazards, fire safety, risk assessment and safety regulations. Non-lab students (MATH & SAAS) are only required to attend the following topics and NOT required to take the quiz:
• Introduction to Safety Management
• Occupational Health Issues
• Fire Safety; Electrical Safety
