Master of Science - Paediatrics (Research)
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Master of Science in Paediatrics (Research) lets candidates pursue original investigation specifically within paediatric medicine, requiring a thesis based on genuinely original research findings under the direction of a UNSW-appointed supervisor. Candidates can enrol full-time, part-time or externally at an affiliated teaching hospital or research facility, with annual progress reviews by the faculty's Higher Degree Committee. Because the degree is entirely research-driven, the specific paediatric research question depends on the individual candidate's clinical and research interests and available supervision. It suits paediatricians or medical graduates with a genuine research question in child health who want a formal research credential, often as a pathway toward a PhD or a specialised academic or clinical research career in paediatric medicine.
