The Master of Science in Health Science (MSc Health Science) program is designed to provide students with advanced knowledge and skills in health sciences, focusing on research, innovation, and evidence-based practice. The program emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches to health science, integrating theoretical knowledge with practical applications to address complex health challenges. Students will develop competencies in health research, data analysis, health systems management, and the application of scientific principles to improve health outcomes.

Graduates of the MSc Health Science program will be prepared for careers in healthcare research, academia, public health, clinical practice, and health policy development.

Upon successful completion of the program, graduates will be able to:

• Conduct advanced health science research using quantitative and qualitative methods.
• Analyze and interpret health data to inform evidence-based decision-making.
• Design and implement health interventions to address population health needs.
• Evaluate health policies and programs to improve health system performance.
• Apply ethical and legal principles in health science research and practice.
