About the course

With a strong focus on diversity including disability, sexuality, gender and age, you will learn about the economic, social, cultural and environmental influences on public health and wellbeing and the key institutions involved in health promotion in New Zealand.

　　Learn to design and evaluate evidence-based health promotion interventions, programmes and models, including undertaking needs assessment and utilising new technologies, in order to maintain a healthy population in New Zealand.

　　Our proximity to government and large not-for-profit organisations offers graduates research opportunities and hands-on experience with health promotion guests, agencies and groups.

　　Take your degree and experience to the next level and gain advanced knowledge of complex health care systems and current issues in health.

　　Prepare for a career in health and wellbeing or build on your existing background. Choose to study health without a specialisation, or select from one of seven specialist areas:

　　Health Leadership and Management

　　Health Policy, Planning and Service Delivery

　　Health Promotion

　　Midwifery

　　Nursing

　　Professional Practice

　　Workplace Health and Safety.

　　Develop the theoretical and practical skills required to meet the demand for skilled staff in the health sector.

　　To qualify for entry, you’ll need a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline, and for some subjects you’ll normally be a registered health professional in that area. The path you take will depend on your previous academic achievements and your professional goals. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
