Study public health

Gain an introduction to contemporary public health issues and learn practical techniques for analysing public health problems with a Graduate Certificate in Public Health from the University of Newcastle. You will develop an understanding of the patterns and causes of disease within populations through evidence-based interventions and learn about the current Burden of Disease in Australia, the region and globally.

You’ll also explore the biological, social and environmental causes of these patterns of disease and how economic and political processes, health systems and organisations will determine the effectiveness of public health responses. This program approach will facilitate graduates’ access to work and further study opportunities.
