Bachelor of Science (Health)

The new Bachelor of Science (Health) provides a thorough grounding in health and health systems at the local, national and global level. You will develop a strong science foundation and the ability to think critically about health and healthcare – these will make you a competitive graduate.

Health is one of Australia's fastest growing employment sectors. Graduates who have a holistic understanding of health and how healthcare works in Australia and internationally are in high demand.

Why study with us?
This degree gives you the flexibility to explore the breadth of health, and tailor your study pattern to specialise in the areas of health that you are interested in.
We offer an increased number of units of study that address different areas of health such as e-health, indigenous health, health promotion, and ageing and health. You will have more project-based learning and work collaboratively with other students and health organisations.
In response to our changing healthcare system, we have increased your opportunities to engage with industry. You will interview health professionals and people with lived experiences in your classrooms, and network with our alumni from healthcare, commercial, government, and not-for-profit organisations at extra-curricular events and mentoring.
You will graduate with the ability to navigate the complexity of health in different sociocultural, political and economic contexts, along with skills in critical thinking, complex problem solving, communication and empathy.
You will complete a major in Health with core units in areas such as health and society, introduction to healthcare and eHealth, ensuring you gain comprehensive knowledge of healthcare and its latest developments. As you progress through the health major you will be able to specialise in areas of interest (e.g. health, ethics and the law, international health or health policy).
