With a strong emphasis on participation, prevention, and partnership with the community, you will build solid foundations of the socio-ecological model of public health. You'll also have the opportunity to develop and maintain community and industry partnerships in promoting public health and participate in the political process to advocate for health, social justice, and equity through contributions to public policy and decision-making. You can choose to major in health promotion or environmental health or opt for a course of study covering a broad range of public health topics.
  • Health promotion major
  • In this major, you'll learn to initiate, manage and evaluate a health promotion project. You'll do this by applying relevant theoretical knowledge and strategies.
  • Environmental health major
  • You will learn to assess, monitor and evaluate environmental health issues. You'll gain skills to facilitate conflict resolution between agencies, regulated parties and communities. You'll do this by applying relevant law, provision of information and problem solving.
  • Our public health degree offers you the flexibility to tailor your studies to your unique interests and career goals. With a range of minors to choose from, you can customise your learning experience to suit your needs. During your studies, you will have the opportunity to complete practical placements in real-world settings, enabling you to enhance your employability further and put the skills and knowledge you obtain into practice.
  • What is public health?
  • Public health refers to a collection of disciplines that share a common aim - to prevent disease, promote health and improve well-being among the population as a whole rather than focusing on individuals. Some of the most important advances in health internationally over the last century have been public health interventions - including the eradication of smallpox, improvements in workplace safety, reduced morbidity from cholera and decreased trends in tobacco smoking.
