This major will provide a broad overview of public health and the critical issues it confronts. To establish core understanding of this field, students will examine the foundational disciplines of public health problems including: epidemiology, biostatistics, health systems, environmental health and social sciences.

Public health is an excellent choice if you are keen to pursue a clinical career in areas like medicine or allied health. It gives future clinicians a broad understanding of health and disease and allows you to consider the systems in which you will work. A public health major can also lead you to a career in public health, working with government, non-profit or private health based organisations.
