What is public health?

What is public health and why should you apply for a public health program? Public health—it maybe a topic that you’ve heard a lot about lately. But what exactly is it?

Step 1

Send Official Transcripts

  OzTREKK requires one copy of your official transcript from each institution at which you’ve studied.

Important: Transcripts must be up to date and in English.

Email: Please have your school/admissions office email us directly or through an official transcript service (e.g., Parchment or MyCreds) to transcripts@oztrekk.com. If you require a password on the digital transcript, please use the following:

  • Question: The educational agent that I am working with
  • Password: OZTREKK1 (no spaces, all capitals) or if there’s a character limit or an access code requirement, use 1234

Mail: If they cannot be emailed, transcripts in their original, sealed envelopes can be mailed to the OzTREKK Office.

If your documents are not English or if you’re sending a high school transcript from BC, Alberta, or Saskatchewan, please read How do I send my transcripts?
