About the Course

In this rewarding course, you’ll gain a keen understanding of social, political, economic and environmental factors that influence health. You’ll discover ways to plan and implement health promotion strategies such as health policy, advocacy, community education or development, and you’ll be trained to evaluate their benefits and effectiveness. In your first year, you'll study the foundations of public health including biostatistics, epidemiology and human biology, and health in social and cultural contexts. Throughout your second and third years, you'll learn about social justice and how to improve the health of marginalised people. You'll also participate in fieldwork visits and undertake an on-campus health promotion project.
