Master of Health Science
The Master of Health Science is designed for professionals working in a variety of health science settings, including both government and non-government organisations.
Students can select from three specialisations, including 'Health Services Management', 'Aged Care Management', or 'Occupational Health and Safety'. Students can study a broad range of health science units relating to evidence-based health care and practice, health service planning, aged care management, health policy development, leadership, and health financial management.
Students receive practical skills in community development and health promotion programs, and also complete a culminating research and practice experience in the evaluation of a contemporary issue in health science. Upon completing the Master of Health Sciences, students will be equipped with knowledge and skills to pursue careers in the health sector and related industry and government organisations, as well as opportunities to further their learning via postgraduate research programmes (e.g. Master of Research and/or Doctor of Philosophy in Public Health).
