Bachelor of Human Movement at University of South Australia

In this degree, you will study contemporary issues associated with leadership, research, evidence and transformation and reform in healthcare teams, units, organisations and system. This degree will help you develop your management skills and understanding of how health service organisations work and gain the confidence to lead change.

This degree provides an alternative route for entry into a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) if you do not meet the entry requirements for direct admission. Students who have successfully completed the Graduate Diploma of Health Research (and have achieved a Grade Point Average grade in the dissertation component) are eligible to be admitted into the Master of Philosophy (MPhil) program subject to fulfilment of requirements for candidature as specified in the Higher Degree Research Policy and successful completion of the confirmation procedure.

The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) degree is undertaken as a supervised program of original research. It is suited to those with some research training and experience, but who do not meet the eligibility criteria for direct entry into the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The depth of research required for a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is less than that required for a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). In some cases, it is possible to use the Master of Philosophy as a pathway to upgrade to a Doctor of Philosophy. The Master of Philosophy is completed within a minimum period of 1 year full-time and a maximum period of 2 years full-time, or the part-time equivalent. Students with limited research training or experience are advised to undertake the Master of Research (MRes).
