University of Findlay

What you'll study

The programme integrates advanced biomedical knowledge with health systems, leadership and applied research. Core areas typically include advanced anatomy and physiology, epidemiology and biostatistics, health policy and ethics, healthcare leadership and management, quality improvement, and health informatics. Students also study research methods and evidence-based practice and choose from elective modules such as clinical education, population health, occupational and environmental health, or advanced clinical skills depending on their interests.

Teaching is delivered through a mix of seminars, case-based learning, laboratory or simulation sessions and applied projects. Most students complete a substantial practicum or capstone project in a clinical or community setting that demonstrates applied competence; some pathways may offer a thesis option for those focused on research.

Entry requirements

Applicants should hold a recognised bachelor’s degree, preferably in a health, science or related discipline. Typical selection criteria include a satisfactory undergraduate transcript, a personal statement outlining professional goals, and a CV or résumé documenting relevant healthcare or research experience. Depending on the pathway, applicants with professional qualifications (for example nursing, allied health or public-health roles) may be required to provide evidence of clinical registration or employer support for practicum placements.

Admissions may also request academic references and, where appropriate, evidence of competency in research methods. International applicants must meet English language requirements as set by the university.

Career prospects

Graduates move into a wide range of roles across healthcare, public health and related sectors. Common career destinations include clinical coordinator or supervisor roles, health services management, clinical education and training, research coordinator or analyst positions, quality improvement and patient-safety roles, and public-health programme delivery. The degree also provides a solid foundation for progression to doctoral study or professional programmes such as advanced clinical practitioner training.

Because the University of Findlay emphasises applied learning and partnerships with regional healthcare providers, many students secure practicum placements and employment opportunities within local hospitals, clinics, community health organisations and private-sector health services.
