Get great work skills

With the Postgraduate Diploma in Public Health, you will understand the core functions of public health: health promotion, disease prevention, disease surveillance and monitoring, health assessment and health protection.

You will also be able to identify and critically analyse public health problems and solutions from a range of perspectives including biological, environmental, behavioural, social and cultural determinants as well as from a systems perspective. These skills will be invaluable in the workplace.

You will benefit from our course lecturers’ active engagement in public health research, as well as learning from guest speakers from the Ministry of Health, District Health Boards, other research institutions, health providers and community organisations.

This breadth of knowledge and experience will give you a real-world view of the current state of knowledge in public health and practical know-how with immediate application in your workplace.

Study to suit your lifestyle

You can study in a way that best suits you: block or distance courses, full time or part time. Study can be tailored specifically for your needs.

If you are a health professional, policy maker, community worker or researcher, you will benefit from unique shared learning opportunities with others from diverse backgrounds in the health sector, including the environment, occupational safety and health, and social services.
