The School of Public Health at QUT has primarily worked with Public Sector
Organisations, to design programs customised to the needs of the employers and
their staff. The university and the employer undertake a collaborative process
to ensure the learning is relevant and focused. This achieves the goals of the
organisation while maintaining the academic integrity required of a university
award course.
These courses are delivered in an external mode to ensure students throughout
the state are provided the same opportunities and access to further study. Within
the external mode there are various forms of delivery such as print only, online
only, or a flexible delivery that may involve both an on campus phase as well
as either print or on line. There is an acknowledgement that workplace learning
is also invaluable, and as such, some courses include clinical placements as
an important component of the course.
All programs are designed to articulate into other programs offered within the
School of Public Health enabling students to continue with their study if they
so choose.
Queensland Ambulance Service programs:
