The MSc in Interdisciplinary Health Sciences challenges students to examine complex issues related to human health, disability, and disease through an interdisciplinary lens. The program emphasizes the critical interactions between biological, psychosocial and behavioral determinants of health across the lifespan.

In this two-year, research-intensive, bilingual MSc program, students will examine a wide range of theoretical health frameworks that describe interactions and synergies across several health disciplines. Future health professionals will graduate with a strong methodological skill set, including competencies in quantitative, qualitative, and bioscience research methods.
