Exceptional PhD theses
The Division of Health Sciences celebrates research excellence at every level. We take great pleasure in acknowledging PhD candidates who have presented a thesis of exceptional quality.
Research
Health Sciences staff undertake research that makes tangible benefits to the lives of many New Zealanders, and in doing so they consistently win some of the country's most prestigious awards for research excellence.
The depth and breadth of our research expertise means that research informs our teaching across all aspects of health professional training, and we believe we are laying the foundations for the next generation of New Zealand's health research leaders.
