Our new Master’s specialisation was launched on Tuesday 12th November at the AAAH conference in Brisbane Australia – This is fabulous news as it is now available to International as well as domestic Australian students.
Delivered online part-time, from anywhere in the world.
The Master of Adolescent Health and Wellbeing program provides a unique learning opportunity for students from any related field to develop in-depth knowledge and advanced skills in the specialist discipline of adolescent health and wellbeing.
Now students can choose to undertake either a Research or Leadership specialisation.
In the Leadership Specialisation through a workplace focused project students design and implement a project under the guidance of academic and professional supervisors, then distil and present what is learnt, identifying implications with stakeholders in their workplace setting. This cycle of inquiry, from conception and engagement to implementation, will serve as a rigorous exercise in leadership in adolescent health.
In the Research Specialisation through a minor thesis students propose a research question, choose and design a methodology for a relevant adolescent health challenge. This research cycle, from conception to implementation and adaptation, will serve as a rigorous exercise in academic excellence.
The master’s course is part of a nested suite of courses including:
