Welcome to the Department of Health and Environment at the Bendigo campus. We hope you will find the content of these pages helpful in your exploration of Public Health-related undergraduate and postgraduate programs at Bendigo. We offer a Bachelor of Public Health in which students select one of two majors: Environmental Health or Health Promotion. Students who graduate with an Environmental Health major are eligible for recognition by the Australian Institute of Environmental Health and are typically employed as Environmental Health Officers in local government, although a range of other employment options are also available. Our Health Promotion graduates are sought after in settings such as community health centres, state and federal government departments, divisions of general practice, and non-government organisations. We also offer a range of postgraduate study options, ranging from Graduate Certificates, Graduate Diplomas and Masters (Coursework or Research) through to PhD.
