You'll normally be expected to hold an initial degree in a discipline relating to health or the determinants of health. This covers a wide range of subjects such as health professions (e.g. medicine, nursing, allied health professions, environmental health), social sciences (e.g. sociology, psychology, geography), and other professional backgrounds such as education, sport development, social work, housing, planning, etc. (not an exclusive list). However, you can also be eligible if you have other qualifications of an appropriate level, particularly if you are able to demonstrate significant experience in a relevant setting. If you think this might apply to your situation, please contact the program leader for an informal discussion. If you're applying directly following the completion of a Bachelor's degree, we'll generally expect you to hold at least a 2:1 classification – to ensure that you are equipped for the step up to study at the Master's level. However, we consider each application on its own merits depending on the undergraduate subject of study and other factors such as relevant experience (paid or voluntary).
