Public health
With a career in public health, you can drive meaningful change that impacts large numbers of people. That’s because public health is focused on population-level outcomes. Our public health courses are open to both non-medical and medically-qualified students who are seeking a career in public or global health, research or practice. Our courses will give you skills in planning, implementation and evaluation of public health programs in a wide range of areas, such as infectious diseases, reproductive and sexual health and Indigenous health. Our teaching features a strong emphasis on practical and industry engagement.
Our health services management program is developing the leaders of today and tomorrow to ensure they have the knowledge, skills and abilities to manage and shape the complex and rapidly changing fields of health and social care. Our students are guided through the latest management theories, and equipped with practical skills in quality improvement, planning, management and digital health. They are exposed to industry experts who share both their knowledge and wisdom of the latest challenges and most effective methods for improving the quality and outcomes of care, whether that care is delivered in hospitals or in the community.
Through postgraduate coursework and research, we provide a solid understanding of how to improve health outcomes, lower costs, and deliver high-value health care through the leadership and management of health and social services.
