The Master of Public Health (MPH) will equip you with the tools to investigate, critique and respond to real world population health problems in local, global and planetary contexts. Unique features of the course include learning from acclaimed Menzies School of Health Research professionals in the specialist areas of Indigenous health, global health, public health practice and health research.
You will learn to critically analyse and interpret population health information, evaluate and design public health interventions, and formulate strategies to address complex health and social issues - like health inequity, the social determinants of health and climate change.
You will apply evidence-based public health approaches, critical and systems thinking to: health promotion; disease control; health systems; health policy; decision making; the environment and the sustainable development goals.
You will acquire advanced knowledge and skills in: epidemiology; biostatistics; quantitative and qualitative research methods. You will also have the opportunity to consolidate your learning by undertaking a research project supervised by an expert in the field. Following completion of the research project option students may proceed, with approval, to Higher Degree Research (PhD) training.
