About this program

The Master of Medicine (Advanced) (Sexual and Reproductive Health) at the University of Sydney is designed for medical professionals seeking in-depth expertise in issues related to sexual and reproductive health. This advanced coursework programme encompasses a broad spectrum of topics including sexual health, reproductive physiology, contraception, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), sexual dysfunction, and public health strategies. Students are encouraged to engage with contemporary research and evidence-based practice as it informs patient care and policy development in an Australian context.

The course is structured with units of study delivered over 1.5 years of full-time study, with each unit carrying allocated credit points according to its depth and workload. The advanced stream features a research thesis or capstone project component, enabling students to strengthen skills in critical analysis, research methodology, and data interpretation. This encourages students to apply their learning to real-world contexts and contribute meaningfully to the field.

Students benefit from the University of Sydney's strong ties to clinical and research institutions in Australia, offering opportunities for industry engagement and inter-professional collaboration. The programme develops advanced knowledge in clinical management, patient communication, health promotion, and policy formulation. Candidates gain both specialised expertise and generalised skills applicable across diverse healthcare settings.

This course is intended for medical graduates or practicing clinicians aiming to specialise further, or those with a public health or biomedical background who wish to focus on sexual and reproductive health. Prospective students should confirm entry requirements, unit availability, tuition fees, and English language standards on the university’s official website.
