The programme is divided into three semesters. Core courses are taught in semesters one and two and must be successfully completed before selecting any course from semester three.

All MScHSA courses and related synchronous activities are scheduled to be held during the following days/times during the 2022-2023 academic year so as to ensure optimal flexibility: Mon-Fri 2pm-9pm and/or Sat 10am-1pm (EET/EEST – Cyprus time).
Based on the above and students’ concomitant professional and/or other responsibilities, students may opt to enroll as either full-time or part-time students in the MScHSA programme.
