HEAPH6003 Biostatistics
This unit will increase the ability of the students to apply the basic principles and methods used in biostatistics including application to public health studies. It is essential for health professionals to understand biostatistics in order to design, questionnaire development, conduct surveys, and interpret public health-related research. Students will learn how to describe, summarise, analyse and interpret health-related data. This includes the technical qualifications, such as use of SPSS and MS Excel, necessary for analysing and interpreting data on a descriptive, bivariate and multivariate level.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).
2025 contribution amount* $1,164
2025 grandfathered contribution amount* $1,164
Grandfathered contribution amount - if you are a continuing student, who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
* For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.
