This multidisciplinary course will help you begin your public health career, where you'll work to achieve better health through the prevention of disease and disability at the community or whole population level, rather than just working with individuals.

You'll learn about how social, economic and environmental factors affect health and wellbeing, and choose from a broad range of units to begin building your public health career. This includes units focusing on big data and health, epidemiology and biostatistics, healthcare systems in Australia and health promotion planning.

Due to the range of units, this course also acts as a pathway into other health courses with more competitive admission criteria, including pharmacy, speech pathology, physiotherapy or occupational therapy.

Choose your specialisation
