Master of Adolescent Health and Wellbeing (MC-ADOLHW)

The Master of Adolescent Health & Wellbeing program will provide a unique learning opportunity for students to develop in-depth knowledge and advanced skills in the specialist discipline of adolescent health and wellbeing.

Students can choose to undertake either a Research or Leadership specialisation.

In the Research Specialisation, the research component (research training subject and minor thesis) will require students to propose a research question, choose and design a methodology for a relevant adolescent health challenge. They will then conduct their investigation under the guidance of a supervisor and apply what is learnt to their own workplace and practice. This research cycle, from conception to implementation and adaptation, will serve as a rigorous exercise in academic excellence.

In the Leadership Specialisation, the workplace focused component (and the students' associated project) will require students to select a relevant adolescent health issue, engage key stakeholders, then design and propose a program of inquiry and/or action. They will design and implement the project under the guidance of academic and professional supervisors, then distil and present what is learnt, identifying implications with stakeholders in their workplace setting. This cycle of inquiry, from conception and engagement to implementation, will serve as a rigorous exercise in leadership in adolescent health.
