Master of Public Health with Specialisation in Applied Research

Program Overview

Will you help design a healthier - and safer - future?

There's never been a more important time to learn about the power of public health.

With an ever-increasing need for public health initiatives to prevent and protect the community from diseases, the world needs skilled professionals who understand contemporary public health research and practice.

And you don't need a health background to pursue an in-demand career in public health.

Our Master of Public Health will give you important foundations in systems thinking, epidemiology, policy and research methods. Learn how to gather, interpret and leverage health data to create a healthier society. Understand the key principles of promotion, protection and prevention. Develop your research skills and learn how to influence our health systems.

You'll gain the skills you need to work in health systems around the world. By developing a global and multidisciplinary approach, you'll gain an understanding of public health that can genuinely influence the wellbeing of individuals, families and communities.

You'll learn:

  • Systems thinking: Understand how the systems in our society are intrinsically linked to the health of individual people.
  • Epidemiology and biostatistics: Learn how to gather and interpret health data, and improve health outcomes for your community.
  • Approaches to public health: Understand how theoretical principles can help you solve public health problems.
  • Policy and practice: Learn how to create policies that can improve health outcomes and develop practices that promote better health in your community.
  • Leadership: Develop the confidence to lead public health initiatives.

 

Specialisation: Applied Research

Conduct a research project to address issues related to public health.

In this specialisation, you'll undertake research in a public health area such as epidemiology, global health, health policy and management, health promotion and environmental health. Benefit from mentorship and supervision from academics, work with industry groups to complete your project and gain practical research experience. Graduate ready to improve the health of communities through a career in public health, health policy or health promotion, or go further with PhD studies.
