The Bachelor of Public Health (Honours) at the University of Technology Sydney is a specialised one-year programme positioned at the bachelor honours level on the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). Designed for high-achieving graduates of a recognised three-year bachelor degree in public health or a related field, this honours year focuses on developing advanced skills in research, critical analysis, and evidence-based practice. The course is ideal for those seeking to deepen their expertise in the Australian public health landscape, preparing them for further research opportunities or careers in health leadership and policy.
The structure of the course includes a mix of core units and an independent research project or thesis, often completed under the supervision of academic staff with expertise in areas such as epidemiology, health promotion, or Indigenous health. Honours students are expected to complete an agreed number of credit points, determined by the university's framework, over two semesters. The integrative research project forms the capstone of the programme, allowing students to investigate a contemporary public health issue relevant to Australian and global contexts.
Graduates gain a range of advanced skills highly valued by employers in Australia's health sector, such as research design, data analysis, policy critique, scientific communication, and project management. The course is suited to those who want to pursue postgraduate research, move into policy roles, or contribute to evidence-based public health practice. Sydney, as a major global city, offers students unique access to health agencies, NGOs, and government bodies, enriching learning through industry exposure and potential placements.
International students must demonstrate English language proficiency, with commonly accepted tests such as IELTS Academic (6.0–6.5) or equivalent. While studying, students on a Student visa are permitted to work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream. Entry requirements, units of study, and credit point details should be confirmed on the university's official website.
It typically takes 1 year, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
Tuition is around A$41,425 total. Fees change yearly, confirm with an advisor.
