Master of Public Health

Arden’s Master of Public Health course has been developed to meet the increasing demand for graduates with a passion for managing and leading preventive health services in communicable and non-communicable diseases. The course places emphasis on providing students with the most current skills in healthcare and digital literacy in health services management, giving them the ability to support healthcare delivery and better health outcomes at population, community, and national level.

The course is designed to be flexible and contemporary in its structure and delivery, and has been developed in close collaboration with leading public health employers and industry advisory groups. This means students will be exposed to a variety of teaching approaches and assessment methods to support the development of knowledge and abilities in public health, helping students graduate with the specialised skills necessary for a successful career in the public health sector.

This public health master course also prepares students for the digital and data driven world that the public health profession has now moved into. Students will also have the opportunity to become proficient with a wealth of digital technologies such as SPSS, NVIVO, Stata, Gorilla, and more. This gives students the chance to learn about virtual simulations used to predict, model, and plan for future infectious and non-infectious disease outbreaks, as well as how to respond to real life challenges that may arise in a student's future career in public health.
