The 180-point Master of Health can be completed in one year of full-time study (three trimesters) or up to four years of part-time study.

Depending on your courses and specialisation, you’ll complete your course through online learning, face-to-face block lectures and workshops, research projects, and practicums.

Master of Health

Part 1: In the first part of your qualification, you’ll take one of two core courses that will help you to develop your research skills within a health context. You’ll explore topics that best support your area of professional interest, including healthcare management, promotion, and practice. If you choose to specialise, you’ll need to include courses that are key to your specialisation.

Part 2: In part two you’ll complete your degree and explore your specialisation further, with either a relevant research project or a professional project that demonstrates an advanced knowledge of your field of professional practice.
