Bachelor of Science (Health Promotion)
In this rewarding course, you’ll gain a keen understanding of social, political, economic, and environmental factors that influence health.
You’ll discover ways to plan and implement health promotion strategies such as health policy, advocacy, community education, or development, and you’ll be trained to evaluate their benefits and effectiveness.
In your first year, you'll study the foundations of public health including biostatistics, epidemiology and human biology, and health in social and cultural contexts.
Throughout your second and third years, you'll learn about social justice and how to improve the health of marginalized people. You’ll also participate in fieldwork visits and undertake an on-campus health promotion project.
In your final year, you’ll complete a 100-hour professional placement with a health promotion organization to develop and practice important industry skills and competencies before you graduate. There are also opportunities to progress your skills and expertise in a supportive, professional environment at CERIPH, an internationally acclaimed research center located at Curtin Perth, as well as optional overseas study tours.

How we define ‘experience’
‘Experience’ includes a combination of factors sufficient to demonstrate readiness for higher education such as mature-age entry, professional experience whether completion of the Special Tertiary Admission Test (STAT) is required or not, community involvement or work experience. Applicants may have undertaken non-formal programs that have helped prepare them for tertiary education or are relevant to the proposed higher education field of study.

Applicants with vocational education and training (VET) study are those whose highest level of study since leaving secondary education is a VET course. This includes study at a public TAFE or other VET provider, whether a qualification was completed or not. Applicants with VET study may have other qualifications such as a Year 10 or Year 12 secondary school certificate.
