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.
