Credit Towards Other Courses
On completion of the Graduate Certificate in Public Health Nutrition, students may apply to transfer into the Master of Public Health as the Graduate Certificate in Public Health Nutrition articulates with that Masters program. Successful applicants will be required to complete a further 24 credit points of course work for the Master of Public Health program in accordance with the requirements for that degree.
Students considering whether to articulate from the Graduate Certificate into a higher qualification or not must seek academic advice prior to applying to graduate from the Graduate Certificate. The University General Course Rules are such that students who graduate from a Graduate Certificate and then later seek entry to a related Masters program may not be able to receive the full amount of credit that is normally available under the articulation agreement.
