Key Facts

Psychiatric illnesses often coexist with other conditions and can influence behaviour in various situations. By gaining advanced knowledge through our master's in psychiatry, healthcare professionals working in complementary fields and those regularly encountering psychiatric illnesses will benefit greatly.

Frontline healthcare professionals, including those in primary care and specialised units, must be well-equipped to manage mental health patients with confidence and competence.

Upon completing this master's in psychiatry, you will be well-versed in the latest classifications, treatments, and assessments that integrate psychological and social sciences. You will understand how psychiatry connects with other fields such as acute medicine, surgery, perinatal services, children’s services, and primary care.
