In as little as one year you can gain the skills to contribute to public health management and policy, disease control and health promotion across a wide range of populations with AUT's postgraduate public health programme.

The Postgraduate Diploma in Public Health emphasises the role of social, economic, cultural, educational, environmental and other societal factors in the production and maintenance of individual and community wellbeing.

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, and become familiar with behaviours that contribute to health and disease in the community.
