If you’d like to work directly with communities to identify issues (such as nutrition or sexual health) and develop strategies that meet their needs, then look no further than a career in health promotion.
You’ll study the science of contemporary health promotion at the individual, group and population levels; development of health promotion; design, implementation and evaluation of health policies and programs; health promotion settings, populations and issues; environmental health; epidemiology; and research.
You’ll also get practical experience through a work placement in your final year of study, helping you to be job-ready.
The program meets national and international health promotion competency standards and prepares you for a career in health promotion, health policy development or disease prevention.
