With rapid growth of the health-care sector, the world’s demand for healthcare practitioners expertly trained in managerial practices is also rising.

A Graduate Certificate in Health Administration, the pathway to exploring concepts key to management systems and outcomes and leadership practices within health, provides skills applicable to managerial decision-making across healthcare settings.

With training focused on managerial learning outcomes and supported by exercises that highlight real-world practice, the Graduate Certificate in Health Administration will make you graduate ready to revolutionise systems of health management.

Our course encompasses the complexities of healthcare leadership by teaching health system change and clinical leadership, safety and quality systems, health policy and law, and financial management in healthcare. You’ll leave with the confidence and skillset of a career-minded health professional.

The Bachelor of Actuarial Science helps you build your own skills in this area and get a clearer picture for your career opportunities as well. The course will show you how to apply mathematical and statistical concepts to real-world scenarios – as you learn how to evaluate risks and uncover opportunities, or positively influence economic structures to keep the pace of our rapidly-evolving world.

Financial accounting, micro and macroeconomics and economic statistics form the foundation for your study, which you can then apply to areas including corporate finance, debt market and fixed income securities. Completing this course will bring you one step closer to providing professional actuarial advice in Australia and overseas – with the degree accredited by the Actuaries Institute. It might also lead you into the Foundation Program of the Actuaries Institute professional qualification.
