The Graduate Certificate in Public Health provides preparation for work, education and research in public health. It provides the skills necessary to launch a career in public health and the education needs of public health professionals who want to advance their careers.
You will graduate with the necessary skills for professional public health practice across a broad range of settings. The program fosters understanding of fundamental areas of public health professional practice and will benefit students returning to postgraduate study after a long period in the workforce. Graduates are equipped to contribute knowledge and skills with well-developed judgement for improving public health outcomes across diverse community and organisational settings.
Through the graduate certificate, you can continue on to study the Master of Public Health and associated dual and extension programs.
The PLuS Alliance combines the strengths of three leading research universities – Arizona State University, King’s College London and UNSW – to solve global challenges. You’ll have the opportunity to take online courses with Arizona State University to bring a global perspective to your education. Moving away from the traditional classroom, this program will immerse you in a global learning environment, where you’ll study alongside students from Australia, the United States and around the world.
