The Master of Global Health/Master of Public Health (Extension) at the University of New South Wales in Sydney is an advanced, interdisciplinary double degree programme designed to equip students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to address pressing public health issues on both a population and global scale. Students will engage in rigorous coursework covering topics such as epidemiology, environmental health, global health policy, health promotion, biostatistics, and the social determinants of health. The double degree incorporates specialist units from both Global Health and Public Health, allowing graduates to develop expertise in program implementation, health systems strengthening, and strategies for improving health outcomes in diverse communities worldwide.
This 2.5-year programme is structured around units of study, with each unit contributing a set number of credit points towards the completion requirement as outlined on the official UNSW page. It features an extended curriculum through elective options and includes capstone experiences such as a research thesis or practice-based project, providing opportunities to synthesise learning and demonstrate professional competencies. Work-integrated learning is emphasised, preparing graduates for real-world challenges through placements or projects in collaboration with industry partners, government agencies, or non-governmental organisations.
Graduates develop a broad skill set, including advanced research and analytical abilities, program design and evaluation, health communication, and leadership in multicultural settings. The course is well suited to health professionals, policy makers, recent graduates, or those seeking a career change into public health or the global health arena. The UNSW’s strong connections with Australian and international health institutions enhance networking and employment prospects and align the programme with public health workforce needs in Australia and globally.
International students may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream, and can work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying. Admission requires meeting the specified English proficiency standard; applicants should confirm detailed entry requirements, credit structure, and professional opportunities via the official university page.
It typically takes 2.5 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
Tuition is around A$119,000 total. Fees change yearly, confirm with an advisor.
