About this program

The Master of Science in Medicine (Advanced) (Sexual and Reproductive Health) at the University of Sydney is designed for those who wish to deepen their understanding of sexual and reproductive health in a public health context. This advanced master’s programme delivers a thorough grounding in human sexuality, reproductive health policy, and medical approaches, preparing graduates to contribute to clinical services, research or health leadership in these critical areas.

The course is structured over 1.5 years of full-time study and is comprised of a series of advanced units of study, each carrying a set number of credit points as outlined by the university. Students engage with topics such as sexual health advocacy, contraception and fertility, sexually transmissible infections, and global reproductive health. The curriculum culminates in a significant capstone research project or thesis, which enables participants to investigate complex issues in depth, under the supervision of experienced academic staff.

Australian master's degrees emphasise both theoretical learning and evidence-based practice. This programme may also offer opportunities for work-integrated learning and exposure to professional networks within the Australian healthcare sector. Graduates develop advanced skills in critical analysis, research methodology, ethical decision-making and client-centred approaches, making the course ideal for medical professionals, allied health practitioners, researchers and policy-makers seeking specialisation in sexual and reproductive health.

Located in Sydney, students benefit from strong links with leading medical research institutes and health organisations and can take advantage of Australia’s work rights of 48 hours per fortnight while studying. Graduates may also be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream to gain further professional experience.
