Program Outline

The program aims to stimulate students to think creatively about the the social, cultural,

economic and environmental determinants of health and illness in populations and about

the organisation and delivery of public health services, including policies and practices

that support and improve the health of people.

The program consists of course work, comprising core courses and electives, and may

include a dissertation on a research project or a practicum. While students are free tochoose any combination of electives, and to make their award as general as they wish,

Our awards are well known to the South Australian Department of Health, the

Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing, as well as the Public Health

Association of Australia, the Faculty of Public Health Medicine and other relevant public

health bodies.

The Masters award is open to students who are graduates of health-related disciplines

or who have relevant experience. Students may buildon a certificate to achieve a

diploma, and on a diploma to achieve a master's degree.
