Carleton University’s Department of Health Sciences offers an innovative and exciting opportunity for graduate studies in health sciences.
The Master of Science in Health: Science, Technology and Policy (HSTP) is a unique 6-credit graduate program. The program places an emphasis on skill acquisition, using problem-based approaches to understand health issues and sectors, and participation in collaborative interdisciplinary research projects. The program design is facilitated by the cohort model, which allows for collaboration between students from various academic backgrounds to improve their understanding of complex problems in the broad field of health.
This year we are offering a new distinctive option in the MSc in HSTP program. Incoming students will have a choice between the Research Pathway and the Practicum Pathway. Those in the Research Pathway would participate in an Interdisciplinary Health Research Project, a multi-stakeholder and disciplinary graduate-level research project. Research is supervised by faculty researchers and completed in collaboration with external partners (e.g. government, corporate, or community health institutions). The Practicum Pathway is a new stream that allows students to gain work experience by completing practicum placement(s) at appropriate organization(s) (e.g. public health unit, provincial or federal governmental agency or non-governmental organization).
We are currently accepting applications for Fall 2024 admissions. Further information on the program and the applications instructions can be found at https://carleton.ca/healthsciences/msc-in-health-science-technology-and-policy/admissions-msc-in-hstp/
