We are committed to achieving excellence in public health research and postgraduate research training, and to developing high quality undergraduate and postgraduate courses of relevance to a changing society and recognised by professional bodies and accreditation authorities.

What is the Bachelor of Public Health?
The Bachelor of Public Health is a multi-disciplinary three-year program that provides the knowledge and skills to work in a wide range of public health professions.
The program integrates knowledge and practice from a range of fields such as environmental health, health promotion, and nutrition and dietetics.
This program focuses on the systems and practices that shape the health of nations, communities and individuals and the environments in which they live, work and take their leisure. Issues that help determine quality of life are investigated, such as globalisation, technology, environmental degradation and population trends, lifestyle and nutrition, control of existing and emerging communicable diseases, industry pollution management, food and drug safety.
