Program Description

The MSc in Health Sciences offers a combined student-centred and community-oriented approach. The MSc strengthens student 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 research approaches that fit with their interests, learning from a range of research expertiese, 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 experiences working with and learning from a range of community partners.
