Study at the Sydney School of Public Health

19 July 2016

Public health is
•   Preventing disease
•   Promoting health
•   Prolonging life
How do we encourage a more physically active population? How can we campaign to reduce tobacco use? How do we influence health policy?
Public health analyses and acts upon the problems that prevent us from enjoying a good healthy life. Achieving these goals comes in many forms: generating knowledge of the public health problem, advocating for change and solutions, and helping implement those changes. Above all, public health is about people – often the most vulnerable in our communities – giving them the power of education and programs which will improve their health, prevent diseases and prolong their lives.
Every day, graduates from the Sydney School of Public Health are making a difference to the lives of people in Australia and across the globe.
Sydney public health students and alumni talk about what drew them to the field, and where their postgraduate studies are taking them.

Learning opportunities are aimed at developing the essential knowledge and required skills of practitioners in the practice of public health, including the effective management of community health problems to improve conditions and outcomes. The programs are offered at a graduate diploma and master’s degree level with an emphasis on a modern approach to improving health outcomes within disadvantaged and developing communities.
