Division of Health Sciences
Aaron
is a Registered Nurse and enrolled in the Master of Health Science
(Health Service Management) in mid-2005. Aaron pursued postgraduate study for the opportunity to further
his education
and employability in the health care sector. The choice of courses
available through the Master of Health Science program is vast. Since
starting the Master of Health Science program, along with studying
specific health science courses, Aaron has studied Public Relations and
Human Resource Management, and elected to complete the following
courses, among others, in 2007, Accounting for Management, and Advanced
Marketing . This variety has allowed him to gain valuable
insights in the health management field from a variety of perspectives.
Career advancement is my primary objective of studying the Master of
Health Science program. With the knowledge I have and will gain from
this program I would like to pursue a career in government policy
administration or managing a project in rural Australia.
To work in the Health Service Management field one will need the skills
and attributes of a leader with critical thinking and analytical skills.
The best part of learning from professionals that have industry
knowledge and experience is that it makes understanding real world
concepts relevant. The range of support available with every aspect of
studies is helpful. The lectures, workshops and online environment are
highly informative and relevant to the health care industry.
I completed my undergraduate degree at UniSA and found it to be a great
place to study. I have the benefit of excellent facilities, great
environment and the flexibility to study my degree as I choose,
internally, externally, online or any combination of these and at my own
pace.
I have found the course content to be well informed and relevant to my
career. I have advanced my critical thinking, analytical and leadership
skills.
Finding time to attend classes can be difficult when working a 38 hour
week but so far the internal components that I have participated in have
been after business hours and on the weekends. UniSA understands that
postgraduate students have other commitments and are keen to help you
succeed.
I would highly recommend the Master of Health Science program to any
health professionals that are looking to further their knowledge,
education and career. This innovative and challenging degree is flexible
in its approach to learning.
Aaron is currently working as a Technical Officer in the School of
Nursing and Midwifery at UniSA.
