Master of Science in Health Sciences

About this programme

For potential supervisors, please visit our website: www.unbc.ca/health-sciences The MSc in Health Science offers a combined student-centred and community-oriented approach. The MSc strengthens students' capacity to progress their research interests and equips a new generation of researchers to understand and respond to contemporary health challenges, especially those faced by northern, rural, remote, and Indigenous communities. The interdisciplinary program provides opportunities for those interested in health within a changing health system to explore and research and to benefit from the diverse health research strengths in the School of Health Sciences and across UNBC. Students pursue health research approaches that fit with their interests, learning from a range of research expertise spanning, but not limited to, biomedical, epidemiological, community health, and ecohealth approaches. Our students also benefit from active research partnerships across and beyond the university that create opportunities for applied and community-oriented research, with direct experience working with and learning from a range of community partners. The research-based Master's degree equips students for a thriving career in health research (including applications for PhD programs), and is well suited for established health professionals seeking a research-oriented program that builds on existing practice and skills. Application deadlines can be found online at www.unbc.ca/admissions/graduate . The Health Sciences MSc program accepts students for the September Semester. In addition to meeti
