Please submit your CV with relevant global/public health work experience, a personal statement of intent (letter of motivation for studying the course), and your academic transcript, as these are used to rank candidates. If you do not submit these documents, then we cannot assess your eligibility.
Commonwealth Supported Places
There are a limited number of Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) for students commencing their degree and these are offered in Semester 1. Therefore we strongly encourage you to commence study in Semester 1, but apply by December 1st in the previous year. Applications for Semester 2 received by 13 June will be considered for a CSP if there are any remaining from the Semester 1 intake.
