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 Management component, students choose a major to further develop their understanding in one of three key industries: Digital Creative Enterprise, Events, or Sport Business.
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. Further career options depend on the key industry major chosen by students.
Students must gain a minimum of 96 credit points to complete the Bachelor of Health Science and 96 credit points in the Bachelor of Management. The Bachelor of Management component consists of 48 credit points of core subjects and 48 credit points for a major choice. Available majors: Digital Creative Enterprise, Events, and Sport Business
A professional placement in the Bachelor of Health Science component is undertaken in Year 4.
Students have an option to undertake a Business Internship as an elective within their major in the Bachelor of Management. 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.
