MHSc in Translational Research

Your opportunity to impact healthcare and improve the lives of people and communities.

At the Translational Research Program (TRP), build on your own experiences and on expertise across disciplines to develop health innovations. You’ll collaborate with learners from varied backgrounds that are passionate about improving health. You’ll learn from peers and mentors in industry and healthcare through feedback and support rather than lectures and exams.

Designed to be flexible, an Individual Development Plan will help you identify opportunities to build the skills that facilitate your personal and professional goals throughout the two-year graduate program. The customizable coursework options and classes are rallying points for discussions and peer learning, while hands-on projects and co-curricular activities allow you to tackle real-world challenges while building your networks and skills.

If you want to be challenged,
