Master of Population Health (Research)
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Master of Population Health (Research) recognises successful, original research contributing significantly to knowledge in an approved population health area, with the thesis normally submitted within two years of full-time equivalent study. Candidates typically work at a UNSW campus, teaching hospital or affiliated research facility under a Committee-appointed supervisor, though periods working elsewhere can be approved where genuinely necessary to the research program. Because the degree is entirely research-driven, the specific population health topic and methodology depend on the individual candidate's research question and available supervision, rather than following a set taught curriculum. It suits population health graduates or professionals with a genuine research question they want to pursue, often as a pathway toward further research study or a specialised research role in public health policy, epidemiology or health services research.
