You will be able to complete a generalist sexual health degree or choose your elective units from within one of 4 specialisations.
If you choose a public health or a generalist 'no speciality' pathway all units of study will be completely online.
If you choose HIV and STIs or pyschosexual therapy and reproductive health and fertility, these specialisations are also mostly online, however they do require a 2 week intensive face-to-face session on campus.
