COURSE DESCRIPTION
Change the face of modern medicine by conquering superbugs for good. For more than 10 years, Western has been at the leading edge of medical education. This course gives you the vital skills and knowledge to combat disease, improve global health and establish effective public health policy.
Be the one who conquers superbugs for good, with Western’s Graduate Certificate in Epidemiology. We believe knowledge doesn’t just come from theory but also by being actively involved in the medical field.
It’s why we’re involved in collaborative research with clinicians, policy makers and community partners. We’re leaders in health research, both nationally and internationally. As a result, our graduates are highly sought after.
Core units include Epidemiology and Biostatistics, while our range of specialist electives includes fascinating areas, like Disease Surveillance, Environmental Epidemiology and Research Protocol Design.
Taught out of our Parramatta Campus, you’ll emerge with a solid understanding of epidemiological concepts and methods. Be given the vital skills and knowledge needed to combat disease, improve global health and establish effective public health policy.
Your career:
Be prepared for a career as a health researcher or clinician (medical, nursing and allied health). Contribute to health-related fields, like public health, environmental health, and communicable disease control.

Or take your studies further with a higher degree in health and medical research.
