Postgraduate degrees in Public Health are designed for students to build expertise in one or more areas of public health when they have completed study in a similar area, for example, nursing, medicine or another health profession.  Students can extend their knowledge and skills in health promotion, public health policy, biostatistics and epidemiology, research, health economics, disease prevention and health management.

Post-graduate university qualifications in public health support a range of flexible career pathways. Some people may choose to study public health after studying medicine to train as public health physicians or after a nursing degree to become a public health nurse. Many universities have online programs that allow you to study from your own home.
