Postgraduate Research Degrees

The School's research focuses on diverse issues relevant to primary health care and general practice, reflecting the variety of expertise amongst the academic team of social scientists, health educators and medical and allied health practitioners.

Professional and Continuing Education Short Courses

Expand your knowledge and skills without having to commit to a formal qualification. Some practitioners may not have the time to commit to a long-term period of study, or may want to have a more informal re-introduction to study.

Within the School we offer a range of non-award, short courses for practitioners. These are designed as professional development opportunities for practitioners to develop knowledge and skills in specific areas of practice and are an alternative to the ‘traditional’ university award-based course. The short courses are either assessed or non-assessed and have been approved by the FMNHS Professional and Continuing Education Committee. Courses which are assessed and have been approved by the university as ‘Credentials’ can be attributed as credit towards specific post graduate awards (as per the Monash University Assessment Policy).
