Bachelor of Health Science - What it offers

2:30 - 2:50pm | School of Art & Design Lecture Theatre Building #105, 2nd Floor

Next up we have an information session on our brand new degree - The Bachelor of Health Science.

The new Bachelor of Health Science degree goes beyond the biomedical and biotechnical perspectives of health. This new degree will have a strong focus on population health, health stewardship and health promotion.

The program will give students a solid foundation in medical sciences, research methods in studying health and illness, a multi-disciplinary understanding of health information and an understanding of emerging health problems both in Australia and around the world. Students will gain numeracy, research, communication and leadership skills and an ideal foundation to navigate the ANU Medical curriculum.  

Come along and see how the Bachelor of Health Science will prepare you for further studies in medicine, public health and allied health as well as careers in health services, social work and epidemiology.
