Applied Health PromotionMajor

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.
