Our Master of Healthcare Technology Innovation degree will empower you to transform healthcare systems through innovative data science and engineering solutions. Whether you are a health practitioner, engineer, IT professional, or scientist, this program provides rigorous training in new, complementary skills while simultaneously leveraging your prior knowledge to revolutionise healthcare. The program offers the flexibility to tailor learning to cater for your professional and personal healthcare interests.
The prevailing healthcare challenges demand innovative and integrative use of diverse technologies. We are witnessing breakthroughs in molecular profiling technologies, medical data capture, artificial intelligence-enabled diagnostics and prognostics, biomedical data science, smart medical devices, tissue and organ engineering, and surgical robotics. They are changing our current landscape in healthcare delivery and consumption. The future of healthcare will be driven by rapid technological advancements, and it is crucial to both understand the innovative use of these technologies and gain frontline exposure to their research and development.
Our Master of Health Technology Innovation is an ideal degree if you are seeking to expand your career options and be part of the technological healthcare revolution. Recognising the necessity and emergence of multi-disciplinary engagement in advancing healthcare, you will work alongside engineers, IT specialists, data scientists and health professionals in cross-disciplinary projects.
Commonwealth Supported Places
Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) are available for postgraduate study for eligible domestic students. This means that your course fees are subsidised by the Australian Government and you pay a student contribution amount (SCA). CSPs are limited in number and are allocated based on academic merit.
