The Graduate Certificate provides recognition to students who are limited to study for one session or one year only. It will be awarded to a candidate who has satisfactorily completed the program of study outlined below. The GradCert articulates with the Graduate Diploma in Health Management, Master of Health Management, Master of Health Services Management (Hong Kong program) or Master of Public Health programs.

Credit for courses completed in the GradCert may be transferred to the Masters programs, in accordance with the UNSW policy on credit transfer, provided students demonstrate adequate academic performance (minimum Credit average).

This program is designed to provide training for senior managerial and planning professionals in health services.

The Graduate Certificate program may be taken on a full-time or part-time basis, internal or external basis (including compulsory residential schools).

Candidates are required to successfully complete a total of 24 units of credit from the courses offered by the School of Public Health & Community Medicine. The Graduate Certificate program may be tailored to suit individual interests. Further information on groupings of courses is available from the School.
