ATU graduate of the part-time Master of Science in Health Promotion Practice, Natasha Kelly, described her experience:
After working seven years in the health and fitness industry, I knew a master’s degree was the right next step. I identified gaps in research in both children’s health and women’s health, and I felt that through education we could help address these. The enthusiasm and support I received from ATU gave me the confidence and direction I needed to pursue this path.
To support those who are interested in flexible study, ATU will host a Lunchtime Virtual Information Session on Wednesday, 11 March, from 1:00pm to 1:45pm. During the session, the Online and Flexible Learning team will provide an overview of available courses now open for application, delivery modes of study, discipline areas and funding supports, followed by a Q&A opportunity.
Prospective students can explore courses and submit applications now via the ATU website.
