About this program

The Master of Medicine (Sexual and Reproductive Health) at the University of Sydney is designed for medical and health professionals seeking advanced knowledge and clinical expertise in sexual and reproductive health. This one-year master’s degree is structured around a series of specialised units of study, each valued at a set number of credit points, allowing students to tailor their learning to professional interests. The programme explores themes such as sexual health, reproductive rights, contraception, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), fertility, and public health approaches to sexual health care in diverse Australian and global contexts.

Students will engage with both theoretical frameworks and practical applications, developing skills in diagnosis, treatment, counselling, health promotion, and policy development. The curriculum may include a capstone project or research element that draws on real-world issues and encourages evidence-based practice. Where compatible with a student's background and visa status, there may be opportunities for work-integrated learning or placements through partner organisations in Sydney’s vibrant health sector.

This course equips graduates with the ability to translate contemporary research into clinical practice, critically analyse emerging trends, and provide expert care in sexual and reproductive health. It is ideally suited to doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals looking to advance their careers or specialise further. As a public health-focused degree, it also benefits those aiming for roles in healthcare management, policy design, or community health education, especially in the Australian context where sexual and reproductive health is a key public health priority.

Graduates are well-placed to take advantage of Australia’s strong healthcare sector and research infrastructure. International students can benefit from work rights of up to 48 hours per fortnight during study, and may be eligible for post-study employment experience under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) after completing their degree. Details should be confirmed with the university’s official advice and page.
