Graduate Certificate in Public Health
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Graduate Certificate in Public Health prepares students for work, education and research across public health broadly, building professional practice skills for a wide range of public health settings rather than one narrow specialisation. The program particularly benefits students returning to postgraduate study after time in the workforce, updating their knowledge and judgement for improving public health outcomes across diverse community and organisational contexts. It suits people launching a public health career from an unrelated background as well as existing public health professionals wanting to formalise their practice with an academic credential. The certificate functions as a direct pathway into the Master of Public Health and its dual and extension programs, making it a low-commitment way to test public health study before committing to a longer degree.
