What will I learn?

The Master of Public Health (MPH) is widely recognised as essential for a career in public health. The MPH provides both the foundational skills necessary to launch a career in public health and the education needs of public health specialists for career progression. You will graduate with an advanced and integrated understanding of public health practice. Through the MPH you will gain the knowledge and skills to identify, understand, prevent and contain disease in populations as well as to identify and address the social determinants of population health inequities. You will be equipped with core skills in epidemiology, biostatistics, health promotion, health policy, planning and management.
