The Public Health specialisation will focus on the health of populations.

This specialisation will teach you to measure, plan, manage and evaluate health programs and services to prevent illness and promote good health in communities. You will study a wide range of health disciplines and competencies including biomedical sciences, public health, global health, health research methods, health policy and professional practice (e.g. health law and ethics) and gain in-depth skills and knowledge in health to bring about positive changes in communities. You will apply this knowledge in your third year, where you will spend 90 hours on placement in non-clinical health-related organisations around metropolitan and rural Australia.

The Public Health specialisation will provide a pathway to a variety of non-clinical careers in the healthcare sector, or further study, such as Honours or a Master of Public Health.

Study Plans will be available shortly.
