The University of Notre Dame Australia offers a Master of Philosophy (Health Sciences) as a research-based program that blends coursework in research methodology with the development of a significant thesis. While open to students from various academic backgrounds, those transitioning from other fields may need to complete supplementary coursework. This postgraduate research qualification involves both structured learning and an extensive research project, finalized by presenting a thesis for external evaluation. Every student is assigned at least two academic supervisors who offer ongoing support and scholarly direction throughout the program. These advisors assist with crafting the research proposal and provide continuous mentorship until thesis submission. The program offers flexible study options, allowing enrollment as either a full-time or part-time student. Typically, full-time students complete the degree in eighteen months, while part-time students have up to three years (excluding approved leave periods). The accelerated one-year completion path is primarily reserved for candidates with previous research experience or relevant qualifications.
