Master of Public Health overview

A master degree in public health lets you expand upon your prior graduate or undergraduate study in the field. Generally, there is more space for electives, so you can develop your knowledge in a chosen area to improve your expertise. There are usually two options for this degree; a coursework masters or a research masters.

Coursework master

A coursework masters involves studying pre-approved units to give you a well-rounded educational experience in public health.

Usually there will be compulsory subjects, including some subjects on biostatistics and epidemiology. After that you are free to select electives that suit your specific range of interests.

Research master

Alternatively, a research masters will get you to develop a thesis or idea, often in conjunction with a project in the field or real experience gained at an internship. This experience of researching and developing understanding and potential solutions is invaluable for work in the realm of public health. A research masters gives you proof of your abilities to show to potential employers.

Employment options

A master's degree shows you have a deep understanding of public health ideas, research, and where your passions lie. It could put you above others when it comes to employment and internships.

Scholarships and funding

Those who are studying a masters full-time in Australia are usually able to get Austudy or Youth Allowance. Check with your institute to see if you qualify (or read our article here about it).

Prerequisites and selection process

Most universities will accept an undergraduate degree in a related field for admission to the master of public health program. Related fields could include public policy, politics, international relations, sociology, and many more.
