Course outline

Become a leader in improving the health of communities and the wider population with the Bachelor of Public Health and open the door to diverse careers across Australia and internationally. Be supported by experienced public health lecturers who are invested in providing students with authentic, work-based learning opportunities so that they graduate work ready. Students will gain real-world experiences through completion of a 240-hour work placement in their final year. This course is designed to develop broad skills and knowledge in public health, while developing specialised expertise in health promotion, environmental health, and nutrition. Public health refers to a collection of disciplines that share a common aim to prevent disease, promote health and improve wellbeing among the population as a whole, rather than focusing on individuals.
