Overview

The Graduate Certificate in Global Health is designed to address the continuing education needs of professionals in global health, or health professionals who want to upskill or advance their careers. It also provides the orientation and skills necessary for those who want to launch a career focused on global health issues.

You will develop the skills necessary for professional practice in global health, gain a strong understanding of global health issues, and learn advanced disciplinary knowledge and technical capacities. It will benefit students returning to postgraduate study after a long period in the workforce by updating their skills and knowledge.

Through the graduate certificate, you can continue on to study the Master of Global Health and associated dual and extension programs.

Key features

Pathway to further study
Students can articulate from the graduate certificate into the graduate diploma and the Master of Global Health. You can elect to further your studies by adding an extension to gain research experience through additional research methodology courses and/or an advanced research project. You can also combine your master’s degree with health leadership and management, public health or infectious diseases intelligence through our dual or dual extension options. Studying two programs concurrently enhances your career prospects and gives you the opportunity to combine knowledge and skills from two related disciplines. Opportunities are also available to progress from a coursework master’s degree that includes a research component to enrolment in a PhD.

Industry relevant program
This program was designed to be relevant to the workplace, with many opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge to practice. One such opportunity is our internship program, where you’ll gain practical experience in relevant health organisations. We offer a range of domestic and international internship placements in Australia, Asia and the Pacific.

Complete your study from anywhere in the world. This program provides flexible learning options so you can complete the program according to your needs and commitments. Courses can be taken online or face-to-face, full-time or part-time. Our online learning spaces facilitate collaborative learning so you can connect with fellow students and course convenors in real-time.
