Step outside the clinic to play a leading role in the promotion of health and management of disease with public health. Public health focuses on populations and communities rather than individuals, and spans the spectrum from promoting good health, through to preventing disease and managing illness and disability. Your studies will include aspects of biomedical sciences, health promotion, epidemiology, forensic medicine, social sciences, health data management and global health. The Bachelor of Public Health focuses on developing, implementing and evaluating programs and policies to promote health and prevent disease and injury, and undertaking public-health. It has a global orientation, examining both Australian and international health challenges.
