The Graduate Certificate of Health Research Practice equips you with hands-on research skills to excel in health research careers or pursue advanced degrees like a PhD. Develop specialized expertise in your chosen field while learning from top health research professionals.
This program is ideal for health graduates seeking to enhance their research skills. It serves as a foundation for PhD or Master by Research programs, or leads to careers in research project management and implementation. The flexible online format accommodates busy schedules, while the accelerated two-trimester part-time structure helps you achieve your goals faster.
The program features a two-trimester research project. During the first trimester, you'll select from diverse topics (or propose your own with faculty support), complete a literature review, and design a research proposal. The second trimester focuses on conducting research and writing your thesis. Both components develop valuable, employer-desired research competencies for future academic or professional pursuits.
