Promote better health outcomes and learn to apply research to real world problems with a major in public health.
Learn to use knowledge, policy and research to address contemporary health problems and improve the overall health of communities and wider society. You’ll also explore the social and behavioural factors that contribute to health outcomes, and how to influence them using public health strategies.
Throughout this major, you’ll build practical skills in health education, communication, health planning and management. Put your skills into practice and build valuable hands-on experience when you design and implement a small community health promotion project.
By the end of this major, you’ll be able to identify and evaluate evidence that informs public health practice and use it to develop public health policies and programs. Studying public health also builds transferable skills in communication, analytical thinking and problem solving – preparing you for a wide range of careers.
