Graduate Certificate in Public Health
Edith Cowan University ECU

Public health is a broad field which aims to improve and protect the health and well-being of the general population. As a public health practitioner, you can make a real difference to the lives of the local, national and international communities. Public health practitioners help individuals and communities to have greater control over their health and well-being, and to influence organizational and political environments in ways that lead to better health for all. They work across the lifespan, including the early years, child and adolescent health, and healthy aging to support population health. We realize that public health is such a broad area, which is why this Graduate Certificate offers an elective unit to allow you to specialize in an area of interest. The course can also be used as a pathway into the Graduate Diploma of Public Health and Master of Public Health, helping you to further develop your public health knowledge.
