Master of Environmental Health
Flinders University, Adelaide, SA, Australia
About this program
Flinders University's Master of Environmental Health degree. The Master of Environmental Health gives you a strong foundation in environmental health science, risk assessment, and research methods. You will explore how toxicology, microbiology, and epidemiology are used to understand and manage risks that affect communities and the environment. If you choose the 27‑unit thesis pathway, you will work closely with industry or government partners and apply your knowledge to a real‑world problem. This research experience helps you build advanced skills in analysing data, interpreting evidence, and presenting your findings clearly and convincingly. Across the course, you will strengthen your problem‑solving abilities, deepen your understanding of environmental health issues, and learn to communicate effectively with community, government, and academic audiences. You will also build the confidence to direct your own learning and research as the field continues to evolve.
