About this program
UNSW's Graduate Certificate in Global Health gives health professionals and career-changers foundational skills for professional practice in global health, building a strong understanding of global health issues alongside advanced disciplinary knowledge and technical capacity. It particularly benefits professionals returning to postgraduate study after a long period in the workforce, updating skills and knowledge without requiring the full commitment of a master's degree upfront. The four-course program suits people already working in health who want to pivot toward global health specifically, as well as career-changers launching a new career in the field, and it functions as a direct pathway into the Master of Global Health and its dual and extension programs for students who want to continue studying. It works well as either a standalone credential or a genuine first step toward deeper global health qualifications.
