Program Information for Future Health Leaders - Read more about the program FAQs and Information for Employers and Candidates
For information about PhD, Masters by Research and coursework masters programs at the School of Population Health please see Related Links for information on these programs.
The UNSW Future Health Leaders Program is a work-place based professional doctorate (minimum 3 years full time or equivalent) for candidates identified by the workplace as future leaders, and comprises a combination of higher degree research activities supported by selected coursework offerings. The focus of additional coursework and workshops in the DrPH program will be Research Translation, Research Methods, Health Management, Public Health, and Health Leadership. The training is provided while candidates work full-time in their workplace, complemented by a series of coursework activities that support the completion of the research activities and translation of research findings into impacts.
The School of Population Health (SPH) offers a unique Professional Doctorate in Applied Public Health (DrPH) which is designed to be delivered in partnership with a suitable health workplace. The DrPH as a qualification is aimed at strengthening practitioner based knowledge and practice with graduates able to generate and use evidence within the context of real-world challenges and priorities.
As a qualification it is in line with international trends demonstrating the advantages of a professional doctorate for practitioners and leaders in public health and health management as an alternative to a PhD. Graduates of the professional doctorate are recognised as advanced health professionals and practitioner researchers who can take on senior and leadership roles within public health and health service settings.
The program provides an advanced degree, equivalent to a PhD under the Australian TEQSA framework, through i) selected coursework, ii) yearly skills workshops, and iii) workplace-based research projects involving support from UNSW academic and workplace supervisors. Candidates fulfil the requirements for the DrPH while working, through related workplace experience, formal educational activities, coursework, seminars and workshops, and a thesis which reflects original research undertaken during the program. Candidates are supervised by a team of academic supervisors and workplace supervisors for the duration of their candidature.
The model offered at UNSW is an elite program with limited placements and requires partnership with a health focussed workplace. The candidate must be nominated by the partnering workplace and must have a Masters in Public Health or equivalent qualification to be eligible. There is a requirement during the initial part of the DrPH program which is the completion of 48 Units of Credit of coursework activities in support of the proposed research and academic development. A recognition of prior learning pathway for the coursework component is available for up to 24 Units of Credit, subject to approval by the Dean of Graduate Research, on request during the application process. At least 24 Units of Credit of coursework must be completed during the DrPH program which must be comprised of three one week intensive workshop activities, complemented by a 6 Unit of Credit Future Health Leaders foundation course.
The DrPH is a work-based program, and our objective is to partner with health workplaces to produce highly competent multidisciplinary professionals in public health and health management for health workplaces in Australia and overseas (such as ministries of health, government and non-government health organisations and hospitals).
How to Apply
Applicants can express their interest to enter the program at any time of the year. Entry is conducted on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the Higher Degree Research program entry requirements of the University of New South Wales.

Research Tracks
The Department's current research tracks in the PhD program include:
Cancer Epidemiology offers a rich, vibrant and dynamic environment for masters and doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows to actively participate, learn, explore and conduct cancer-related population-based and clinical research. The track has a long and successful history of training masters and doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows. Past students continue to conduct population-based cancer research and have made successful transitions to positions in academia, government and private sector organizations.
Cardiovascular and Clinical Epidemiology focuses on the use of epidemiologic methods in clinical research and practice as well as interdisciplinary training on the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease. The program integrates knowledge on all aspects of the disease: biology, behavior, treatment, and prevention. Training emphasizes active participation in research and translational epidemiology using a collaborative approach, which is enhanced by the close relationships between the Department of Epidemiology and clinical departments of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Clinical Trials and Evidence Synthesis offers students a unique educational experience in clinical trial and evidence synthesis methodology. Methods are applied to a variety of clinical areas including respiratory-, eye- and infectious diseases, and mental health. Student-faculty discussions, journal clubs, research-in-progress meetings, seminars and active participation in research add to both the depth and breadth of the program.
Environmental Epidemiology concentrates on the impact of environmental exposures on health and disease states in human populations. This track integrates epidemiological methods, assessment of environmental exposures and understanding of specific disease processes to identify the health consequences of environmental exposures. Environmental Epidemiology provides basic information for risk assessment, risk communication, and environmental health policy decisions and has a central role in identifying, implementing and evaluating strategies for the prevention and control of environmental exposures. Training in Environmental Epidemiology emphasizes active participation in large population research projects, with close collaborations across the School and with national and international collaborators.
Epidemiology of Aging focuses on the determinants of physical and cognitive health, disease, and function in older adults. Offers multidisciplinary training in methods and theories needed for the study of older populations. Strong ties exist with several multi-departmental training grants and programs. This training program also is connected to numerous large research projects.
General Epidemiology and Methodology offers research and training opportunities in almost all areas of chronic disease epidemiology, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diseases of childhood and includes advanced methodology training in epidemiologic methods as well as providing individualized or customized training in statistical epidemiology, pharmacoepidemiology and social epidemiology.
Genetic Epidemiology focuses on the study of genetic and environmental factors, and their interaction in disease and normal variation. Emphasis is on understanding the methodology and approach to designing, executing and analyzing genetic studies. Training is broad-based and collaborative and encourages participation in research from faculty in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Institute of Genetic Medicine, and the School of Medicine.
Infectious Disease Epidemiology provides training in the fundamentals of infectious disease epidemiology with an eye toward preparing graduates to work in teaching, research and practice. The program emphasizes principles and methods that can be used to understand the dynamics and control of transmissible diseases by all classes of organisms. The curriculum builds on the faculty's extensive and diverse experience researching and combating infectious diseases, ranging from hospital acquired infections, to neglected tropical diseases and sexually transmitted infections.
