Postgraduate Studies
Advanced research training for clinicians, technologists and policy makers in health informatics
CHI offers a unique program of multi-disciplinary research training encompassing information, communication, cognitive and organisational science to support health service and biomedical innovation.
You can advance your informatics research training at CHI in a number of ways:
Our postgraduate program in Health Informatics allows candidates with a background in computer science, engineering or health to undertake advanced research, leading to a postgraduate degree under the supervision of experienced senior research staff, in one of CHI’s
research areas. To fill in skill gaps, candidates have the option to undertake specialised Masters level and undergraduate courses in health informatics, computer science, biomedical engineering, public health, as well as other courses offered by UNSW.
The minimum requirement for entry is a Bachelors degree or equivalent in computer science, engineering, bioinformatics, a medical or health science related degree, or other relevant discipline.
Further information about CHI postgraduate studies can be found on the AIHI website:
2. Internships & short research projects from another institution
We offer undergraduate honours and masters students from other institutions an opportunity to undertake short-term research in an area of their interest. Depending on requirements of their home institution, students typically work with us over a period of 3 to 6 months on a well-defined project within one of our research streams. These projects allow an outstanding opportunity for budding researchers to gain practical experience in undertaking health informatics research under the guidance of a domain expert, and provides exposure to life in a multidisciplinary research centre.
