Key Summary

About: The Master of Science in Health Sciences offers an in-depth understanding of health issues, emphasizing research and evidence-based practices. The program prepares students to critically analyze healthcare systems and promote health within various communities. It typically spans two years and incorporates both theoretical knowledge and practical experience through projects and internships.

Career Outcomes: Graduates can explore career opportunities in public health, healthcare administration, health policy, or become researchers in health-related fields. Positions may include health educators, public health analysts, or health consultants.

The Master of Science (MSc) in Health Sciences is a thesis-based master's program that encompasses two fields of study: Molecular and Medical Sciences (MMS) and Community, Public and Population Health (CPPH).

You'll have the opportunity to choose your focus and start conducting research with a faculty supervisor. An interdisciplinary group of research-intensive faculty supervisors will ensure an outstanding degree experience for you. The MSc in Health Sciences will prepare you for research, policy and direct-service careers in the broader health sector.

The Molecular and Medical Science field explores health through a natural science lens. In this field, you will explore the molecular and cellular pathways related to human health, including the immune system, stem cell and regenerative medicine, and models of disease. A significant focus on lab-based research will have you working closely with a Health Sciences faculty member and their team to hone your laboratory skills and produce data for your final thesis. Students in this field are encouraged to attend conferences, publish their work in a field-specific peer reviewed journal, and be involved in scientific outreach within the community.
