Graduate Certificate in Infectious Diseases Intelligence
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Graduate Certificate in Infectious Diseases Intelligence gives health professionals fundamental skills in preventing and controlling infectious diseases, covering epidemiology, outbreak investigation and disease intelligence specifically rather than general public health theory. Students can choose specialty courses in areas like HIV control, immunisation policy and practice, or infection prevention and control in healthcare settings, letting the certificate lean toward a specific area of infectious disease work. It suits health professionals upskilling in infectious disease management as well as those launching a new career in disease intelligence and surveillance, particularly relevant given ongoing global concern about emerging and re-emerging infectious disease threats. The certificate functions as a direct pathway into the Master of Infectious Diseases Intelligence and its dual and extension programs for students who want to build toward a fuller qualification.
