Graduate Diploma in Public Health
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Graduate Diploma in Public Health builds on the shorter Graduate Certificate with a deeper grounding in health promotion, the social determinants of health, population health priorities and the methods used to address them across varied professional contexts. It prepares students for public health work, education and research more comprehensively than the certificate alone, suiting professionals who want substantial training before committing to the full Master of Public Health, as well as career-changers moving into public health from an unrelated field who need more than a brief introduction. The diploma functions as a genuine middle option between the certificate and master's degree, with credit generally carrying forward for students who continue into the Master of Public Health and its dual and extension programs. It particularly suits people who want hands-on exposure to core public health methods before a longer academic commitment.
