Student experience

Overview

The Graduate Certificate in Dental Public Health course at the University of Melbourne is a partnership between the Melbourne Dental School and the Melbourne School of Population & Global Health. It provides students with the opportunity to advance their knowledge of public health as it applies to dentistry and oral health.

If you are a dentist or oral health therapist looking for a career change to reduce your clinical load or to add flexibility, this graduate certificate is a great option for developing skills through part-time study while working.
