Overview

Throughout the Public Health (Online) course from Adelaide University you’ll study environmental factors that lead to illness and poor health. Explore health promotion, human biology and epidemiology. Unpack the laws and ethics of the field. Learn to plan, implement, evaluate and monitor public health activities.

The curriculum has been designed to align with the Australian Public Health Competency Framework. This means you’ll graduate with highly sought-after industry knowledge and skills, ready to enter the public health workforce. You’ll be equipped to pursue exciting careers in government agencies, not-for-profit organisations and private healthcare firms.

Career opportunities:

There are so many employment opportunities in public health. You can find roles in grassroots community agencies and all levels of government. You could work locally, with groups like the Heart Foundation or Cancer Council. Or abroad in humanitarian and refugee settings, with international aid organisations like the World Health Organization, UNICEF, UNIAID and the Red Cross.

You could lead nutrition literacy initiatives, developing educational campaigns and tools. You might work in remote Aboriginal communities. Perhaps you’ll collaborate with urban planners to design healthier cities – or be at the forefront of disease management and prevention as South Australia’s Chief Public Health Officer.

You could also be a:

Public health research officer
Health promotion officer
Epidemiologist / data analyst
Wellness and lifestyle coordinator
