Master of Women's Health

Melbourne Consulting and Custom Programs, in collaboration with the Key Centre for Women's Health in Society at the University of Melbourne, and Professor Fumi Horiguchi of Keio University, Japan, offer Japanese health professionals a fully articulated suite of three postgraduate courses in Women's Health.

The Postgraduate Certificate in Women's Health
The Postgraduate Diploma in Women's Health
The Master of Women's Health (by coursework)
All programs are part-time and are taught intensively over the Japanese summer holiday period each year. The programs are delivered in Japan and Australia and are taught and assessed in Japanese.

Graduates of the Postgraduate Diploma in Women’s Health will have:

• a thorough professional preparation for graduates intending to work as clinicians, researchers, policy makers and educators in the expanding area of women’s health.
• an ability to be responsive and sensitive to women’s needs
• an increased knowledge of the health issues affecting women
• focus on strategies which will optimise health, rather than on the treatment of disease and disorders
• an integrated knowledge in the humanities and social sciences with that of the medical sciences, thereby assisting to achieve a broad perspective which considers each woman’s health in the context of her social environment and unique development
  

An undergraduate degree or equivalent qualification in medicine, an allied health profession or social science which is recognised by the University as evidence of adequate preparation for the course plus at least one year full-time relevant documented professional work experience
