Study public health at QUT
Hear from current student Georgia Hawkins why studying public health at QUT can set you up for a great career.
Double your opportunities
'Preventing disease and promoting health to all Australians is much more effective when you know how to connect with your audience. Using the power of social media and interactive communication can certainly improve success. This combination is exactly what my double degree provided.'
Real internships
'I completed my Nova internship and I absolutely loved the experience and the people. I learnt so many valuable skills and made many industry connections I now consider radio broadcasting as a potential option for my professional career.'
Pursue your passions
When I was in high school I was encouraged to study something at university that I was good at and that I enjoyed. For me, that was health and communication. Thankfully, I discovered the double degrees that QUT offered. I loved that I could study my two passions at once. The combination of the two courses worked so well together and I believe this helped me land a great job with a hospital foundation when I graduated.
