Overview
The Master of Public Health at the University of Sydney focuses on the prevention of illness and the promotion of health. 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 Sydney MPH is taught by highly experienced academic staff who are active within the public health community and work closely with organisations such as the World Health Organization, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, the Department of Health and Cancer Australia.
You will have the opportunity to undertake a diverse range of professional placements and apply knowledge learned in class to real-world projects with location-based organizations.
Program
You can complete the program by coursework or incorporate a dissertation/project. The dissertation/project provides an opportunity for you to apply your newly acquired knowledge and skills in a public health setting. You can carry out your dissertation/projects within Australia or overseas.
