Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (Communicable Disease) Pathway
Communicable disease has always been an important focus of public health. The patterns have changed over time and differ between developed and developing countries. The Communicable Disease Pathway is designed for students with an interest in learning about patterns of communicable disease and the principles and practicalities of developing programs to control and prevent this. Note that your transcript will not explicitly identify that you undertook this pathway and you are not restricted to the listed units – they are provided only as a guide.
In addition to completing the required credit points of core units of study, Graduate Diploma students must complete 12 credit points of electives, and master's students must complete 16 credit points of electives. A minimum of 6 (Grad Dip) or 8 (master's) credit points of electives must come from part 1 of the table of units of study: Public Health.
