Graduate Diploma in Global Health
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Graduate Diploma in Global Health builds on the shorter Graduate Certificate with deeper training for professionals in or moving into global health, developing a stronger understanding of global health issues alongside advanced disciplinary knowledge and technical capacity for solutions-focused work improving population health. It suits health professionals wanting more depth than a certificate provides before deciding whether to commit to the full Master of Global Health, as well as career-changers who've decided global health is a genuine career direction rather than just an area of interest. The diploma functions as a real middle option between the certificate and master's, with credit generally carrying forward for students who continue into the Master of Global Health and its associated dual and extension programs. It particularly suits people wanting hands-on exposure to global health issues before a longer academic commitment.
