Graduate Certificate in Infectious Diseases
University of Western Australia, Perth, WA, Australia
About this program
The Graduate Certificate in Infectious Diseases introduces students to core concepts across infectious agents, disease, immunology, epidemiology and disease control, with practical training in laboratory techniques and data analysis. It is designed both as an upskilling option for professionals already working in infectious disease related fields and as an entry pathway into higher UWA qualifications in the area, namely the Graduate Diploma in Infectious Diseases and the Master of Infectious Diseases. This is a genuine standalone course with its own handbook code and curriculum, distinct from the Graduate Diploma in Infectious Diseases, though it is not being offered for new entry in 2026.
