Studying International Public Health Online

New in 2013!

Studying International Public Health online is an ideal option if you live outside Sydney and/or if you want to combine study with other commitments. You can choose to study the program entirely online or you can choose to study some units online and others face-to-face.

Online study pathway for international public health

Please note that we do not recommend a semester 2, 2013 start for students proposing to study full-time and fully online. The choice of units is very limited for these online students because some elective units have prerequisites. This will be less of a problem in semester 2, 2014 because more units will be available online by then.
Part-time students wishing to start in semester 2 are very welcome.
