Master of Public Health - Global and Planetary Health

Monash University

This stream aims to provide a broad overview into public health issues and healthcare needs in low- and middle-income countries. It will cover both theoretical and practical aspects of health promotion and healthcare systems and the implementation of prevention strategies for communicable and non-communicable diseases in resource-limited settings. Graduates with these skills are well placed to work on research or health projects around the world, but especially in developing countries. The global and planetary health stream will prepare you to work in government, global health advocacy organisations, aid organisations and research institutes that engage in global health work.
