Scholarship / Supporting Statement AAS Scholarship for Master Degree in Public Health [4]
Dear all my name is Hana, I am currently preparing my supporting statement for Australia Awards Scholarship. Please kindly give me some insight into my essay and thanks in advance
(max 2000 characters)
I am applying for a master degree in public health with major or specialization in nutrition public health because it all started when in 2020 when I studied the profession of a pharmacist to get my legal certification as a pharmacist, I had the opportunity to do an internship at the Pujon health center, in Malang Regency. During my internship, I see the number of cases of young mothers who have anemia in their pregnancy and the number of babies born with low birth weight which further adds to my curiosity regarding nutrition problems that occur in the community. As we know today, pharmacist services are more patient-oriented and Pharmacists work in a variety of public settings such as hospitals, community health centers, drug stores, pharmaceutical industries, and so on. This large field of pharmacy work creates a large window opportunity to provide public health services. It might sounds unrelated to my major in pharmacy, but the fact is medicine is not the only substance that can improve health. Other than that nutrition also plays an important role to improve health. This is the reason why pharmacists need a better understanding of nutrition too. Also during this global pandemic, the number of malnutrition issues in Indonesia has increased because there are a lot of people losing their job and couldn't afford to buy and feed their kids with nutritious food. To support my goal, I choose The University of Queensland as my first priority because UQ offer master degree in public health with a specialization in nutrition public health. UQ is often ranked as one of Australia's best research universities and it is located in Brisbane with multicultural diversity, and also has the lowest cost of living in comparison with other Australian cities. Other than that, I choose Melbourne University because UniMelb also offer MPH with a nutrition politics and policy elective which resonates with my goal to improve Indonesian health quality through nutrition public health.
