Innovative and Modern Curriculum

This dynamic programme is tailored to the needs of fulltime working professionals and new graduates. The MHSA is delivered over 3 semesters (18 months full-time, or up to 4 years part-time) and features 3 core courses in each of Semesters 1 and 2. Semester 3 provides students with the opportunity to choose one of the three elective paths, depending on their own professional development goals.

Students determine their time schedule, study pace and workload by choosing the number of courses per semester. In addition, the distance learning mode, comprising online interactive lectures, tutorials, activities and assignments, allows study outside normal working hours, as well as autonomy and control.

Programme Structure

The programme is divided into three semesters. Core courses are taught in semesters one and two and must be successfully completed before selecting any course from semester three. In semester three, students can opt to complete a research or, field project route, or to complete three electives from a choice of six courses.

Based on the above and students’ concomitant professional and/or other responsibilities, students may opt to enroll as either full-time or part-time students in the MHSA programme.
