Throughout this program, students work closely with experts in the public, private and non-government sectors to gain an understanding of roles in the health system, and build national and international professional networks. Graduates of this program are equipped to work at a high level across the health sector, whether it be in government and policy and planning roles, leading health services, or working in advocacy, strategy, political advisory, regulation, or business development.
