Fields of Study

澳门六合彩开奖预测’s Graduate Program in Health & Rehabilitation Sciences (HRS) centres around eight different fields of study that reflect areas of strength among researchers in the six schools that comprise the Faculty of Health Sciences. Students in both the master’s and PhD programs apply and are admitted to one specific field, though opportunities exist to create a program of study that incorporates courses from additional fields.

The fields reflect a cross between the disciplinary strengths in rehabilitation sciences and areas of multidisciplinary research that cut across the health and rehabilitation disciplines. Research is emphasized in all nine fields and all have thesis-based projects at both the master’s and PhD levels. Visit the individual field pages to view a complete list of research supervisors in that area.
