Cooperative Education Program
A registered student who has completed the first and second years of the standard full-time course, normally
with a GPA of not less than 4. 5 overall, may, at the discretion of the Course Coordinator, undertake the
Cooperative Education option. This involves 10-12 months of paid full-time employment in an approved
industrial/commercial setting during which time the student is enrolled in PUB695 Industrial Training
Experience. On completion of the approved cooperative education placement the student resumes formal
third year studies but is not required to complete the units PUB516 Occupational Health & Safety Practice
1 and PUB613 Occupational Health & Safety 2. Approval of enrolment in the cooperative education program
is dependent on the availability of places and on individual student performance in the first two years of the
course.
PUBLIC HEALTH
Professional Recognition
Students who complete the Public Health major will be eligible for membership of the Public Health
Association of Australia and the Australian Association of Health Promotion Professionals.
