Adelaide University's Bachelor of Public Health will give you the skills to shape healthier futures using an information-driven, people-first approach. You'll explore key concepts underpinning public health - including the social, cultural, commercial and environmental factors that influence health across the lifespan. Learn about the determinants of health and the different frameworks that can be used to promote wellness, with specific attention paid to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Explore how public health initiatives prevent ill health and lead to longer, healthier lives. You'll also gain hands-on, technical skills. Learn how to conduct research and analyse data, and how to communicate findings to everyday people and industry. Apply your skills in real-world practice while on placement in a public health setting. Learn how to engage with diverse groups of people in an ethical, socially responsible, and culturally responsive way. Choose optional topics of interest, from children's and environmental health to international health promotion.
