Graduate Diploma in Adolescent Health and Wellbeing

Course Overview The Graduate Diploma in Adolescent Health and Wellbeing at the University of Melbourne addresses the complex interactions between biology and social context that have dramatically changed in the last 20 years. Over this period, the health and wellbeing of 10–24-year-old adolescents and young adults has not improved to nearly the same extent as younger children and older adults. This program highlights the importance of new scientific understandings, public health interventions, and service responses that offer more sophisticated opportunities to advance adolescent health than ever before. Key Program Highlights The Graduate Diploma in Adolescent Health and Wellbeing is ideal for people from various fields who want to deepen their understanding of adolescent health and wellbeing. This includes healthcare workers, educators, social workers, and others with an interest in this area. The flexible online format makes the course accessible to students in Melbourne, regional/rural Australia, and internationally. International students pay the same fees as domestic students, but the course is not available to those on an Australian student visa for onshore study. Adolescent health and wellbeing are influenced by a complex interplay of biological and social factors, which have evolved significantly over time.
