Specialisation

About this specialisation

Communicable disease has always been an important focus of public health. The patterns of disease have changed over time and differ between developed and developing countries. The Communicable Disease Control specialisation is designed for students with an interest in learning about patterns of communicable disease and the principles and practicalities of developing programs to control and prevent this.

Graduate opportunities

Specialisations allow students to investigate an area of interest relevant to their specific interests, professional practice or area of expertise. To meet the requirements for this specialisation, in addition to completing the core units, students must complete at least 18 credit points of relevant elective units, and a capstone or equivalent unit on a topic related to the specialisation. The remaining 12 credit points can be completed with elective units of the student’s choice.
