James Cook University Australia: Public health and tropical medicine studies

---

James Cook University (JCU) is well-known for public health and tropical medicine education, with one of the largest postgraduate public health training programs in Australasia.

---

Our suite of teaching and research programs focus on challenges facing health professionals working in tropical, rural and remote environments. Special attention is given to the needs of high-risk community groups including Indigenous Australians, refugee and migrant populations.
The discipline offers a range of postgraduate options from graduate certificate and graduate diploma to masters and doctoral degrees. Postgraduate programs include:

• Graduate Certificate of Aeromedical Retrieval


• Graduate Certificate of Travel Medicine


• Graduate Certificate of Disaster and Refugee Health


• Graduate Diploma of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene


• Master of Public Health and Tropical Medicine


• Master of Public Health (with options to specialise in Health Promotion, Aeromedical Retrieval, Communicable Disease Control or Biosecurity and Disaster Preparedness)


• Master of Public Health/Master of Business Administration

The Master of Public Health and Tropical Medicine is one of only two such programs in the world. The course equips graduates with knowledge and skills at both a clinical and public health level. These skills will equip graduates to make a difference, particularly for people living and working in the tropics.
Along with core subjects that cover key public health competencies, students have the opportunity to select elective subjects that develop the relevant public health and clinical skills required for work in tropical regions.
Many postgraduate subjects are offered in flexible delivery mode including online, block-study mode and part-time options.
