Kate Gledhill
Master of Public Health
⸻
Deakin is well known for its public health courses and I knew the calibre of teaching that was available. Deakin also has a strong international focus and I thought this would be invaluable in understanding Australian public health within the international context.
Pratibha Singh
Master of Health Management
⸻
Working in management or public health gives an option to see the impact of one’s action on a larger scale. The career that I wish to pursue is in social service, the humanitarian sector or hospital management. I was deeply affected by the internships that I had done, and my heart shifted to the humanitarian sector.
Mary Rose Angeles
Master of Health Economics
⸻
Deakin University has a great team of health economists, this is the reason why I decided to join the community as I know that learning with this group of people will help me grow in the field of my interest. The school also offers internship programs and assessments that allowed me to have real-world experiences in research before graduating.
