Description:

The Social Dimensions of Health (SDH) master's program represents a truly unique approach to graduate health research studies, combining hands-on research experience with flexible and relevant coursework. The program cross-cuts disciplinary affiliations and links research opportunities at research centres with the academic mandates of the Faculties of Social Sciences, Humanities, Education and Human and Social Development. This means SDH students are able to work and study with researchers who are both excellent teachers and involved in cutting-edge research. With relatively few required courses and an array of choices in methodological and elective courses, the SDH program also enables students to tailor a program of study which suits their research interests.
