Master of Health Promotion
I cannot begin to explain just how much I have learnt
from studying health promotion at Curtin and how
much this whole experience has changed my life.
Having the expertise, support and feedback from my
lecturers and tutors was fantastic.
Virtually everything I learnt in theory, I later
experienced in practice. Studying has also helped to me
really understand the people I work with so that now
it is much easier to accept them and how they react
and respond to health promotion strategies and the
process of change.
