Master of Health Sciences (Research)

UNSW's Master of Health Sciences (Research) lets postgraduate students undertake supervised research aligned with the School of Health Sciences' professional programs, spanning dietetics, pharmacy, physiotherapy and exercise physiology. Because the degree is entirely research-driven, the specific focus and content depend on the individual student's chosen discipline and research question within these four areas, working under a dedicated supervisor rather than following a fixed taught curriculum. It suits health science graduates from one of these four disciplines who have a genuine research question they want to pursue, often as a pathway toward further research study or a research-focused role in clinical practice, health policy or academia. The degree gives graduates a formal research credential that complements their existing clinical training, rather than replacing it with purely theoretical coursework.
