Applications are now officially open for the new online Master of Wellness Program, which is being run by the RMIT University in Victoria, Australia.

The programme will include a ‘nested’ Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma and will offer a number of post-graduate pathways for people wishing to develop a wide range of wellness skills.

Core courses will include positive psychology, lifestyle enhancement and wellness assessment.

To enter at Graduate Certificate level, students are required to have a Bachelor Degree or equivalent, or have an Advanced Diploma and a total of three years of industry experience.

The programme will be open to international students and can be taken fully online.

Professor Marc Cohen, chief designer of the new programme, said: “This programme has been designed to cater for a wide range of interests with graduates gaining personal wellness skills as well as a professional qualification.”

Over the next two years, RMIT plans to add additional units on yoga teaching, detoxification, energy medicine and design. Details: rmit.edu.au
