Undergraduate coursework: Bachelor of Public Health (BPH 3881)

The UNSW Bachelor of Public Health (BPH) (3881) is an innovative three-year degree, which explores diverse areas including health promotion, epidemiology, communicable diseases, policy and research methods, Aboriginal health, health surveillance, and global chronic diseases.  

The degree is available in dual mode delivery. There is the option to study fully online or to come to the UNSW Sydney campus to complete some of the courses. You can undertake the degree on a full or part-time basis, at a pace that suits your needs and can commence your studies at multiple entry points across the year. The degree is offered to domestic students and to people studying in Australia on student visas (CRICOS Course Code 116678A).

In your first year, you will study courses that will develop your understanding of core public health topics including global health, health promotion, Indigenous health, and human biology. During your second year, you will continue to build your understanding and develop your skills with a focus on epidemiology, policy development and advocacy, surveillance, and data analysis, as well as leadership in public health. You will also have the opportunity to bring together learning developed during your program and to apply and further develop public health knowledge and skills through a research project, internship, or public health study tour.
