Master of Epidemiology

Physical, chemical and microbiological hazards present constantly changing health challenges. Coupled with population growth, globalisation, and climate change, the potential for emerging or re-emerging environmental health risks and threats to human health puts governments, industry and communities under pressure to adapt and apply sustainable solutions.The Master of Environmental Health Sciences (MEnvHlthSc) is an interdisciplinary program that teaches courses relevant to environmental health practice and research. The program is a collaboration between UQ School of Public Health and the Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences, an internationally renowned research centre incorporating the former National Research Centre for Environmental Toxicology (Entox).The MEnvHlthSc aims to develop public health leaders who can effectively manage complex environmental health challenges. Such challenges require graduates to be skilled in developing anticipatory and integrated responses, which in turn rely on an understanding of the interrelationship among risk factors related to a broad range of hazards and contexts, skills in coordination across sectors and jurisdictions, as well as risk communication with communities, the private sector and government agencies.

Rise to the challenge of a masters degree that tackles critical environmental health risks. Make positive change and improve the health of entire populations. Step up to leadership backed with skills, knowledge, and confidence.
