- Program Outline
This program has been designed for international students wishing to pursue a research career in Public Health. It provides an excellent grounding in public health concepts and the methodologies and skills of public health researchers. Further, it provides an alternative pathway for those seeking to undertake a PhD, but not having an Honours degree, which is the usual entry point into an Australian doctoral program.
The program begins with a semester of courses in research processes, design, communication and dissemination. These are taught by the School of Education. In addition to providing an orientation to research, the semester will strengthen English language skills and assist in the transition to the Australian research culture. The standard duration of the program is four semesters of full-time study (4 courses per semester).
- Program Structure
Students complete 9 core courses in Public Health and Research Education, 1 elective course in thematic areas in Public Health and a research dissertation component.
- Assessment
Exams, projects, presentations, quizzes and written assignments and a research dissertation.
