Flexible online program delivery

Flexible program delivery with fully online and face-to-face options

SPHCM programs meet the diverse learning and professional needs of students whether they are off campus, or work in local or international health settings. All of our programs can be taken fully online, face-to-face (on campus) or a combination of both. Our postgraduate programs are available full-time or part-time. Students can select the best combination to suit busy lifestyles.

Dual degrees and extension programs

Dual degrees and Extension programs

At SPHCM you can make the most of your studies and fast-track your career by completing two Masters degrees within 18 months.
