COURSE DESCRIPTION
Adolescent health and wellbeing reflects a complex set of interactions between biology and social context, both of which have changed dramatically over time. The health and wellbeing of 10-24 year old adolescents and young adults has not improved to nearly the same extent as younger children and older adults. At the same time, new scientific understandings, public health interventions and service responses offer more sophisticated opportunities to advance adolescent health than ever before. Delivered online, the Graduate Certificate in Adolescent Health and Wellbeing will provide you with the latest knowledge of adolescent health and development, prevention frameworks and skills to work more effectively with individuals and populations in schools and communities, and within health services.
Specialisations
There are two specialisations available: health promotion and oncology.
Online learning
The Graduate Certificate program is offered fully online, making it accessible to multi-disciplinary learners no matter whether you live locally in Melbourne, in regional or rural Australia, or internationally (international students pay the same tuition fees as domestic students). This allows you to study at times of the day that suit you, and around your personal and professional commitments.
Careers
You’ll be qualified to work in adolescent health and wellbeing practice, program development and policy analysis.
