What you鈥檒l study
Our Graduate Diploma requires the completion of 36 credit points of units of study including:
- 6 credit points of compulsory units of study;
- 24 credit points of stream specific units of study; and
- 6 credit points of stream specific or general elective units of study.
You will be able to complete a generalist sexual health degree or choose your elective units from within one of 4 specialisations.
If you choose a public health or a generalist 'no speciality' pathway all units of study will be completely online.
If you choose HIV and STIs or Pyschosexual therapy and reproductive health and fertility, these specialisations are also mostly online, however they do require a 2 week intensive face-to-face session on campus.
Both options are extremely flexible and will allow you to tailor your study schedule around your lifestyle.
