You will be based in a vibrant research environment in one of our many research centres, such as UniSA's Centre for Pharmaceutical Innovation, Quality Use of Medicines and Pharmacy Research Centre, or the Alliance for Research in Exercise, Nutrition and Activity Research Centre (ARENA) to name a few. All of which have a long-standing track record of ground-breaking research partnered with end-users, the community and industry.
There is a growing demand for clinical and health science professionals with expertise in fields such as pharmacy, nursing and midwifery, laboratory medicine, biomedical sciences, and nutrition and food sciences, and a research degree at UniSA will prepare you with expert knowledge to meet that demand, become an expert in your field, and lead the future of clinical and health sciences.
What you'll do
We currently have a variety of projects available in the fields of clinical and health sciences, and if you don't see a current project you are interested in, speak with one of our many world-class research supervisors to discuss developing your own.
In a UniSA project-based research degree you will apply for an existing project outline with an established supervisory panel to support you in your degree. You will develop a research project exploring ground-breaking knowledge, treatments and practice that address critical challenges.
You may also have the opportunity to liaise with industry partners, with past project partners ranging from SA Health and the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
You will also be encouraged to publish in recognised journals and be supported to present at various industry conferences.
The acquired skills and their direct application through your project-based research degree will prepare you to be a leader in your field of clinical and health science, with practical experience and skills in this highly sought-after area.
