Through advanced studies in a specialised focus subject, the Master of Health Science offers you an opportunity to pursue research in health sciences.

If you have successfully completed an undergraduate degree with a health focus such as a Bachelor of Health Science, Bachelor of Nursing, Bachelor of Sport and Exercise, or any other health-related qualification, then you may wish to consider the Master of Health Science.

If you want to undertake postgraduate study in health science, you’ll need to obtain permission from the Qualification Director of postgraduate health science. Enquire to find out more.

If you study full-time, you’ll take 120 credits per year or 60 credits per semester.

Depending on the subject undertaken, courses may be offered in a combination of internal offerings (on-campus), distance offerings, block courses and blended learning.

The Master of Health Science is a parts-based qualification. That means you must complete the first part, before moving to the second.  You can choose a research pathway or a professional pathway (most subjects).
