What will I learn?

Through the Diploma in Health (DipHlth), you will understand the principles and practices of health promotion. Learn how you can be part of driving the change for a healthier Aotearoa, and empower our communities to take health back on their own terms and increase access to services. The Diploma in Health is an ideal option to add health promotion knowledge to your studies or career, or as a pathway to the Bachelor of Health. Study Involve: Take four compulsory courses alongside four elective courses in an area of your choice ranging from physical activity and nutrition, to Maori and Indigenous development. Complete your studies in one year full-time, or up to four years part-time. The Diploma is a great pathway to other UC degrees including the Bachelor of Health.
