Potential students wishing to undertake their research at the Menzies Centre should have a strong interest in health policy and a research project proposal which will complement the research strengths of Menzies Centre staff. 

Opportunities exist for research degrees at both The Australian National University and the University of Sydney.  The location of the principal supervisor will usually determine at which institution the student should enrol.

A research degree from both The Australian National University and the University of Sydney is highly regarded by a wide range of employers, such as government departments, non-government agencies, allied health bodies, and national and international aid agencies and academic institutions.

In postgraduate research programs, students undertake supervised research leading to the production of a thesis or other piece of written or creative work over a prescribed period of time.  Master’s degrees and PhDs can both be obtained by research. They usually require a bachelor degree at honours level, or equivalent, for admission.

Alternatively, potential students may consider enrolling in a postgraduate health policy coursework program.
