Health policy
Why study health policy?
Our postgraduate courses are for students with an interest in health policy, those considering a career shift to a policy area or those whose work requires policy analysis skills and knowledge. The courses deal with the changing contexts of policy-making and analyse current policy using a problem-oriented approach to strengthen your ability to participate in policy making and policy advocacy. A background in the health system is useful but not essential for entry to our health policy courses.
As a La Trobe graduate you may be eligible for our 10% Alumni Advantage when you apply for a full-fee postgraduate coursework program.
Career opportunities
The courses allow specialisation for work in health policy development and analysis in public service departments, public health care agencies, international bodies and also in the commercial sector.
