Build skills and professional networks that open the door to exciting opportunities and leadership roles in the field.
  • How far can a postgraduate degree in public health take your career?
  • If you want to become a leading voice in public health, this course will give you the tools to make it happen. You’ll have the opportunity to become an expert in a specific area of public health, and the practical skills you learn will empower you to make an impact on an even larger scale. The course is ideal for both clinical and non-clinical health professionals. It’s also a great fit for graduates from other fields who are passionate about improving the health of individuals, communities and populations.
  • The Master of Public Health focuses on evidence-based action that drives positive change across health systems. You will use the latest research to form strategies that tackle global health issues and then bring your ideas to life by creating initiatives for policy change and interventions. Your initiatives could be related to various public health fields, including epidemiology, focussing on disease control and prevention. You will look at issues from a big-picture angle and promote the conditions that optimise population health.

> Tailor your degree by choosing electives from eight fields of study:

  • public health practice
  • health promotion
  • epidemiology
  • health economics and management
  • applied research
  • public health nutrition
  • humanitarian assistance
  • disability and inclusion.

> By narrowing in on a field of interest, not only do you get to learn more about what you’re passionate about, the expertise you develop creates a pathway between where you are now and your dream role.

> Much of what you learn is shaped by Deakin’s world-class health research. You’ll have direct access to the research produced by the Institute for Health Transformation which is led by internationally recognised researchers. This research doesn’t just help you when you’re studying and solving case studies – it’s incredibly valuable knowledge that you’ll carry with you throughout your entire career.

>The Master of Public Health can be completed on campus or online, a popular choice for students who are working in the health or other industries while studying. Use our premium online learning platform to fit your degree around your life and achieve your career goals on your schedule.
