About the course

This multidisciplinary course will help you begin your public health career, where you'll work to achieve better health through the prevention of disease and disability at the community or whole population level, rather than just working with individuals. You'll learn about how social, economic and environmental factors affect health and wellbeing, and choose from a broad range of units to begin building your public health career. This includes units focusing on big data and health, epidemiology and biostatistics, healthcare systems in Australia and health promotion planning. Due to the range of units, this course also acts as a pathway into other health courses with more competitive admission criteria, including pharmacy, speech pathology, physiotherapy or occupational therapy. There are a number of specialisations available in the third year of this course – units designed to hone your knowlege and skills in a particular area. You can choose to specialise in health data or health sciences, or select an Accelerated Bachelor Master pathway.

　　In this specialisation, you'll learn how to analyse big data to reveal patterns and trends, and learn about data capture, cyber security, data visualisation and how artificial intelligence and machine learning are being used in health. You'll also grow your interpretive and decision-making skills and know how to present your results effectively to different audiences. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
