The course is a postgraduate program in Indigenous health promotion. It is offered by the Department of Public Health and Community Medicine at The University of Sydney. The course is based on national and international best practice in Indigenous health promotion. Students who complete the program will have a nationally- recognised qualification in health promotion that will equip them for work in a wide range of settings. There are up to 15 student places available.
Students can complete the course with one year's full time study.
The first three blocks are core units and must be completed by all the students. The students then select three electives from a range of options to complete the course. The blocks are taught on campus at the University of Sydney. The final part of the course requires students to complete a project that brings together all the different parts of the course. This is to consolidate their learning with particular emphasis on demonstrating the inclusion and importance of community participation and community development.
