Master of Health Practice

This programme is an ideal option for the Bachelor of Health Science graduates to
achieve a masters qualification in a short period of time. The entry to the
programme does not need a medical science background.

Dependant on the specialisation you choose, there are a variety of work opportunities in health services, government agencies, non-governmental organisations and community groups.

The programme currently offers four specialisations:

Addiction Studies
Health Promotion
Pacific Health
Population Mental Health

Our teaching staff in this programme are leaders in their field. You will hear first-hand about some of the innovative and cutting edge research they deliver.

Students who choose not to complete the requirements for the masters can exit the degree with either a postgraduate diploma or postgraduate certificate.
