About the Discipline

Public Health is a multi-disciplinary teaching and research discipline. We have particular research strengths in women's and children's health, health services and health systems research, and environmental health - especially communicable diseases and occupational health.

The Discipline has welcomed many international students from Asia, Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere.
