Eligibility Criteria

Hold a recognised medical degree (for the Master of Medicine stream).
For non-medical graduates, the “Master of Science in Medicine (Clinical Neurophysiology)” option exists.
Demonstrated professional or clinical experience relevant to neurophysiology practice may be advantageous (especially for advanced clinical units).
Provide proof of English language proficiency (for international applicants) as per university requirements.
Applicants on standard student visas may not be eligible for this course (the programme is not open to international students on a student visa).

Minimum Education

The Master of Medicine (Clinical Neurophysiology) at the University of Sydney is a specialised postgraduate coursework programme designed to deepen clinical and technical competencies in neurophysiology. The discipline addresses neurological dysfunction, systemic disease impact on the nervous system, and intraoperative monitoring of the nervous system during high-risk surgical procedures.
Delivered largely online, the programme incorporates short intensive face-to-face workshops in Sydney and practical sessions in simulated or real diagnostic/perioperative settings.
The curriculum requires the completion of 48 credit points: 12 credit pts of compulsory core units (such as Introduction to Clinical Epidemiology, Basic Sciences in Clinical Neurophysiology), 24 credit pts of stream-specific units (e.g., Diagnostic EEG, Intraoperative Monitoring I & II, Applied Clinical Neurophysiology), and 12 credit pts of electives.
Graduates are equipped to undertake advanced roles in neurophysiology laboratories, perioperative monitoring teams, neurology/anaesthesia allied clinical units, and can engage in translational and technical leadership within health systems.
