Flinders University Master of Public Health Fees, Eligibility, Admission & Deadlines

The course aims to provide students with the ability to apply knowledge and skills in relation to public health principles, values and practices that reduce inequity in health care access and health outcomes, and improve population health status.

The Master of Public Health builds upon existing knowledge to better equip health professionals to meet relevant challenges. You will learn strategies and techniques to prevent disease and promote health on a national and global scale. This course develops you into a leader who can drive innovation behind public health and solve complex issues on an international scale.

This program helps you to develop and further your career in public health practice, research and/or management. It allows you to re-orientate your work interests in health to disease prevention and health promotion and is widely recognised both nationally and internationally as the public health credential for careers in public health.

These programs focus on the socio-ecological model of public health that emphasises and analyses the important interactions between the social, biological, economic and environmental determinants of health. They enable you to apply this analytical skill set to plan, implement and evaluate population based interventions that protect and promote health.

The program has a strong focus on international health and provides you with the opportunity to focus your public health studies by selecting a range of electives in areas such as public health nutrition, health promotion, climate change, international health, environmental health, and health services management.
