Develop the skills to contribute to public health management and policy, disease control and health promotion across a wide range of populations with the AUT Postgraduate Certificate in Public Health.
In as little as six months you build your understanding of key elements of public health, with an emphasis on community health and development. You examine community and population perspectives on health and disease, and health systems responses.
You learn to interpret the patterns of health and disease in populations, their determinants and associated factors. You also become familiar with behaviours that contribute to health and disease in the community, and the development and implementation of appropriate interventions.
