Program Overview
Help enhance health and reduce inequities in the community.
Health promoters aim to achieve optimal health and wellbeing for all through sustainable behaviour change, supported by changes in the environments in which we live, work and play. Their work supports the holistic health of individuals, communities and populations, empowering them to lead a healthier lifestyle. This contributes to a reduction in the risk of disease and premature death, while positively impacting on all dimensions of health.
Employment opportunities for health promoters are diverse. Graduates of this programme have gone on to work for Smokefree New Zealand, Ryman Healthcare (resident wellness programme specialist), Sport Canterbury, New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (road safety co-ordinator), Christchurch City Council (Active Communities co-ordinator) and regional sports trusts, while others have become teachers of PE and health.
The degree covers a broad range of health-related topics from cultural awareness and exercise prescription to health promotion to human nutrition. It will equip you with the communication, problem-solving, critical analysis and teamwork skills required within the multidisciplinary field of health promotion.
You’ll study theory, participate in practical sessions and benefit from work placements with health promotion-related organisations (e.g. Community and Public Health | Te Mana Ora, M?ori and Pacific health providers and workplace wellness).
