The Education Directory lists Australasian university award programs that are actively taking new enrolments.
University programs are shown in three main categories:
- PhD and other postgraduate research degrees
- Postgraduate coursework programs
- Undergraduate degrees
In each category, program names that include the words “health / biomedical / clinical / etc. informatics” appear first; program names that do not, but that may be equivalent (e.g. “digital health”, “health data science”, etc.) appear afterward.
For each university program the Directory shows the institution name, the program name and a link to its main web page.
A listing does not imply endorsement of any specific program, or assurance of its educational quality.
