Public health in Australia: the figures

Across 15 universities this subject comes to 32 programmes on our list (7 bachelor's, 25 master's). One year of a bachelor's here costs ₹21 lakh (A$31,208) to ₹35 lakh (A$52,528). Least expensive: CDU's Bachelor of Health Services Management, at ₹21 lakh. One year of a master's here costs ₹23 lakh (A$34,736) to ₹45 lakh (A$66,976). Campus cities: Sydney (8), Darwin (5), Adelaide (4), Brisbane (3), Newcastle (3). Bachelor's study lasts 3 years; a master's here takes 1–2 years.

Short or long MPH

A one-year MPH (UNSW, Newcastle, Wollongong) suits students with a health degree and experience, but a course under 92 weeks does not meet the study requirement for the 485 on its own. Two-year versions (Melbourne, ANU, UQ, Adelaide, Western Sydney, Tasmania, Flinders) are the safer choice for students who plan to work in Australia afterwards. Check the course length against the 485 study requirement before you enrol.
