Q36 / D66 Graduate Diploma of Health and Ecology

INTRODUCTION

The Post Graduate Diploma of Health and Ecology will equip students with the skills to blend the approaches of the ecological sciences and the health sciences to give a unique perspective on environmental and social issues. It has been designed to allow three different types of graduates or professionals, those who already have a degree in either public health, nursing or environmental management, to examine the inter-relationships between the well-being of communities, health of people and ecological condition of their surroundings. It will suit those students who see environmental issues in a broader societal context, or those students who believe that the socio-economic and environmental determinants of human health require careful investigation.
