Course overview
Our Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Health Sciences will give you an understanding of the world and our bodies, and help you acquire skills you can apply in tomorrow's workforce. Develop essential skills to understand and communicate with a range of people. And the knowledge you'll acquire – across both arts and health – will set you up for a successful career across both sectors.
The health and medical sciences major includes theory and lab practice units, with placement opportunities in a range of healthcare settings. Once you've graduated, you'll also have the opportunity to undertake postgraduate study in health and science, including clinical programs, or any one of our humanities and social sciences postgraduate programs.
