Admission requirements

Applicants must normally hold an approved degree or equivalent qualification and have their candidature approved by the Dean (Education).

The Graduate Certificate articulates with the Master of Public Health program and credit is normally given for appropriate topics completed in the graduate certificate.

Course aims

The Graduate Certificate in Health Promotion aims to provide students with health promotion knowledge and skills to incorporate the principles of public health/primary health care into specific fields of practice in order to reduce inequalities in health care access and health outcomes. 

Learning outcomes

At completion of the course students will have:

knowledge:

  • to understand the relevance of models of health promotion in a range of real world and workplace problems

skills:

  • to critically analyse theoretical concepts relevant to health promotion, and the social determinants of health and well-being

application of knowledge and skills:

  • to apply principles of health promotion to public health practice.

Program of study

To qualify for the Graduate Certificate in Health Promotion a student must complete 18 units with a grade of P or NGP of better in each topic, according to the program of study below.

Core - Year 1 topics

9 units comprising:

 PHCA9501  Social Determinants of Health and Wellbeing  (4.5 units)
 PHCA9507  Health Promotion in Public Health  (4.5 units)

Option - Year 1 topics

Select 9 units from*:

MHSC8111  Managing Chronic Conditions - Self-Management Support Approaches  (4.5 units)
MMED9104  Advanced Epidemiology  (4.5 units)
PHCA9502A  Qualitative Research Methods - Part A  (4.5 units)

*With the permission of the Course Coordinator, students may be permitted to undertake other appropriate option topics.

Except with permission of the Dean (Education):

  • the program must be completed within four consecutive semesters. A lesser period may be set for students granted credit for previous studies
  • no topic may be attempted more than twice.

The award of a grade of Fail (F) in 18 units or more, or the award of a grade of Fail (F) in the same topic on more than one occasion, may constitute prima facie evidence of unsatisfactory progress for the purposes of the University's Policy on Student Progress.

Every effort has been made to ensure the information published on the Course Rule pages is accurate at the time of publication. Flinders University reserves the right to amend its curriculum without prior notice, and will update the Course Rules to reflect any amendments at the earliest opportunity.
