Bachelor
The Bachelor of Health Science Bachelor of Business is a combined program jointly offered by the Faculty of Health and the UTS Business School. The program provides students with a foundational understanding of health science and public health with important aspects of business. It is designed to prepare graduates with qualifications to help improve the health of individuals and populations from a public health and business perspective. Graduates are equipped for a broad field of practice, based on the application of business and public health principles in governmental and non-governmental health services and the wider industry.
The Bachelor of Health Science component is characterised by a strong emphasis on the social model of health and combines health-specific content with a mix of professional and scientific subjects. Students develop knowledge within a framework that can be tailored to suit their interests and needs. In the Bachelor of Business component, students choose a major to further develop their understanding of a specific business discipline.
Career options include positions in health promotion, epidemiology, advocacy, health education, e-health, health data and information management systems, planning and policy, project management and evaluation, community development, research and business consultancy across both public and private health sectors.
Students must gain a minimum of 96 credit points to complete the Bachelor of Health Science and 96 credit points in the Bachelor of Business. The Bachelor of Business component consists of 42 credit points of core subjects, 48 credit points for a major choice, and 6 credit points for an additional elective. Available majors: Accounting, Economics, Finance, Human Resource Management, International Business, Management, Marketing, and Advertising and Marketing Communications.
Students have an option to undertake a Business Internship as an elective within the business major. Students should not enrol in the internship subject in the last session of study to ensure that completion of required hours of work does not impact graduation and/or international students' visa conditions.
A professional placement in the Bachelor of Health Science component is undertaken in Year 4.
