Course overview

The Applied Professional Skills Project gives Master of Public Health students an opportunity to integrate, further develop, and apply their public health professional knowledge and skills to address a current, real-world public health problem. Students will undertake a set of authentic tasks associated with a career in public health that develops critical professional skills and knowledge, in which they will develop a proposal, design a project implementation plan, and then develop and present both an executive summary and full `pitch' of their plan.

Course learning outcomes

  • Apply and synthesise public health concepts, skills and knowledge to a current, real-world public health problem.
  • Demonstrate the skills and attitudes of an ethical public health practitioner.
  • Work independently and cooperatively to propose evidence-based strategies to address a specific public health problem.
  • Communicate in formats (written and spoken) appropriate to the audience and workplace.
  • Develop an understanding of public health competencies by undertaking professional development activities and reflecting upon the experience.
