Graduate Certificate in One Health

If you want to learn how to protect global health security, improve food safety and security or prevent outbreaks of zoonotic disease in animals and people, whilst working to achieve our sustainable development goals then this is the course for you.

One Health is an ambitious concept seeking to enhance interdisciplinary collaborations across all aspects of health and ecology. It embraces traditionally separate fields including human medical health disciplines, veterinary medicine, public health and health administration, and the interactions of human and animal populations with the environment.

You'll explore how complex health problems such as disease pandemics cannot be prevented or controlled by specialists in one discipline alone, but require contributions from multiple specialists working in collaborative teams.

Please be aware that if you study this course as an international student, your studies will be entirely online and you will not be required to attend campus.
