Master of Public Health

Curtin University

This new multidisciplinary course is designed for those seeking to develop their skills and knowledge in public health. Whether you already work in public health or want to move into the field, our course prepares you for contemporary public health practice that addresses traditional and emerging issues that threaten to negatively impact communities and the environment. You will acquire conceptual knowledge and practical skills to support public health action across educational, organisational, socio-economic, environmental and political domains to improve population health. In your second year you will have the opportunity to carry out research with an academic supervisor or enhance your practice and leadership skills. Our Master of Public Health students come from a variety of fields, including medicine and allied health, biomedical and laboratory-based sciences, nutrition, occupational and environmental health, health promotion, social sciences, education, communications, business and management. You can exit this course with a Graduate Certificate in Public Health or a Graduate Diploma in Public Health once you have completed certain units. Other certificates and diplomas may also be available in combination with this course.
