Public Health is the art and science of promoting population health, creating healthy environments and including health in all policies. Public Health practitioners work in government, not for profit and private organisations to improve living standards by preventing infectious diseases and poor health caused by unhealthy lifestyles, enabling positive mental wellbeing based on scientific evidence as well as conducting long terms studies of populations to improve current solutions.

This degree will provide you with an understanding of the key issues affecting the health of populations. You will develop skills in obtaining, reviewing and analysing health information; planning and managing a health program or project, and improving the health of populations. This degree will expose you to the way governments, not for profits and private institutions conceptualise and tackle a variety of health challenges and prepare you for the future of public health. High achieving students can undertake an Honours year at the conclusion of the degree to further develop and apply their research skills. Professional Recognition Graduates can apply to be full members of the Public Health Association of Australia.
