HELI Launches Innovative Master of Research Program to Tackle Global Challenges

MELBOURNE, 15 May 2025 — In a strategic move to address the complex demands of an ever-evolving world, the Higher Education Leadership Institute (HELI) has officially launched its newly accredited Master of Research program. Designed for aspiring leaders and professionals across education, business, health sciences, and technology sectors, the program equips students with the research expertise required to drive innovation and informed decision-making.

Speaking at the launch, a HELI spokesperson highlighted the critical importance of advanced research skills in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environment. “The Master of Research goes beyond academic theory. It empowers students to develop actionable solutions to real-world challenges in policy, business innovation, healthcare systems, and more,” they stated.

The two-year program, available both online and at HELI’s Melbourne campus, offers flexible learning options and covers a diverse range of research fields, including education systems, organisational leadership, data science, public health, and applied computing. Students will undertake rigorous training in both quantitative and qualitative research methods, culminating in a capstone research project under expert academic supervision.

Key features of the program include:

• A curriculum aligned with the Australian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification codes.

• Specialised units focusing on research methodologies, ethics, and communication of findings.

• Entry pathways for both domestic and international students, with comprehensive support for those requiring English language preparation.

Applications are now open for the July intake, with further intakes scheduled throughout the year.
