Aims

The Bachelor of Health Sciences is a multidisciplinary degree that aims to comprehensively prepare you for a career in the diverse modern healthcare environment. The flexible program of study begins with core topics providing a fundamental understanding of anatomy and physiology, health systems, and social and psychological determinants of health and wellbeing essential to health practice. Elective topics provide you with the opportunity to tailor your learning experience to a broad range of health-related topics, or a more focused program of study. You will develop the ability to critically approach new challenges in contemporary healthcare, and be equipped to enter the workforce in a variety of health related sectors, or pursue postgraduate studies in a health related discipline.
