Location: Montreal (Quebec, Canada), Rome (Italy), Barcelona (Spain) and Ottawa (Ontario, Canada)
The Ulysses Master’s Program in HTA&M is currently accepting applications for its fourth cohort. Taught by internationally acclaimed faculty, the Ulysses program offers students cutting edge training in the principles, methods and impacts of HTA&M in a unique global learning environment. Our program’s intensive format adapts to the needs, skills, and expectations of clinicians and other full time professionals and to those of graduate students who wish to concentrate on completion of a master’s dissertation.
The pedagogical format comprises four two-week teaching sessions held in different cities (Montreal, Rome, Barcelona and Ottawa) over a 20-month period, and completion of an internship or a Master’s thesis. Throughout the program, information technology is used to facilitate exchanges between students and faculty members located in different parts of the world.
The 60 Ulysses alumni include doctors, nurses, engineers, lawyers, political scientists and pharmacists and come from 14 different countries around the globe: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Germany, Hong Kong, Iran, Italy, Latvia, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
