The Master of Public Health (MPH) program equips graduates with specialized knowledge, understanding and skills in public health to improve and advance population health and well-being, and prepares graduates to practice with a community, national or global focus, and with an ethical, social justice perspective. The course allows students to develop advanced and specialized knowledge across the discipline of public health, with an emphasis on evidence-based practice, rigorous intellectual inquiry, innovation and thought leadership, and effective communication and advocacy skills. Global health is an increasingly important area for public health practitioners, and the specialization couples knowledge of global health, sustainable development, food security and humanitarian assistance with skills in advocacy. This specialization aims to equip students with the ability to not only implement change, but to influence change in the first place through advocacy. Students may choose to complete their MPH with specialisation through a Research Pathway (undertaking additional research training and completion of a minor thesis) or a Capstone Pathway (involving a capstone experience, such as a practice-based project).
