Address the social, economic and other factors that shape individual and community health and wellbeing with AUT’s Postgraduate Certificate in Public Health.
In just two semesters you’ll build your understanding of the key elements of public health, with an emphasis on community health and development.
The Postgraduate Certificate in Public Health may be right for you if you’re passionate about promoting health, tackling social and health inequities, or advancing community wellbeing. It could also be a good fit if you're considering a career in public health, or are already in the field and seeking a tertiary-level qualification.
This programme aims to advance community wellbeing. It covers the social, economic, cultural, educational, environmental and other factors that underpin individual and community health. Topics you’ll study include principles of public health, social epidemiology, public health policy and systems and Te Hau o te Ora Hauora Māori Development.
The programme is also committed to the principles of equity, social justice and empowerment, as well as community participation and ownership. All courses are offered via flexible learning, including a mix of block courses on campus and online, or blended learning.
